Today I rented a pair of old school skates and went for a trip down the bike path between the venice pier and the santa Monica pier. It was about 6.5 Miles round trip and made more complicated by the pedestrian traffic and sand. My dad joined me on his bicycle.
I had no clue the path would be so sandy. In some spots it was do bad my wheels would stop and I'd get thrown off balance e. To my credit I only actually fell once and the knee and wrist guards saved me from any scraps or injuries. There were a lot of pedestrians to navigate around ( likely didn't read the no walking signs). The other bikers and skaters made me nervous as the sand slowed me down so suddenly I had the picture of one of them running me down but that was just my overactive imagination.
All in all it was a very nice time with my dad who kept up very well on his bike for a 69 year old :).
I haven't done much other than relax and enjoy having family around.
Hey! Let the poor man enjoy the last 2 weeks of being 68! :) I love the orange laces. Good job for only falling down once!
