Brian and I have Mondays off together and we usually try to explore something fun in our area if we have the whole day free. So three weeks ago we decided to bike to Huntington Beach, which is the closest beach, and about 20 miles away. Usually a 45 minute drive or so, but on bike it took about two hours. We enjoy biking because we get to see so much of the city while we ride through the streets. We got out to the beach and ate lunch at a restaurant on the pier called Ruby's. We had a gift card, and enjoyed burgers and malts! Then we stopped at a bike shop because we have been thinking about buying new bikes lately. Surprisingly we found a bike we liked and decided to buy it. We got to ride it home that night, and then had to return to pick up my old bike the next day. We are sharing the new bike, but I usually ride it when we bike together. We still need another bike, because Brian's old mountain bike is really getting rusty. But we love the new one and are excited to add a rack and other accessories to it. I will try to get a picture to show you soon.
So then the next Monday we took our bikes and rode to a nearby state park to go hiking. The bike ride was challenging because it was uphill to get to the Chino Hills State Park entrance. And we got a little lost, so had to call my sister Alyssa to help find the trail head. When we finally got there, it was great to see the views from the tops of some of the hills. We have lots more we want to explore at Chino Hills, and it is fun that it is so close! It's actually the same place we went last time, but this time we went to a different entrance, and it was nice and clear, so we could even see all the way to the ocean. It was a great day to explore our local hills and trails, and to get some exercise on our bikes! More soon about our new table and Thanksgiving.
