Thankfully, I had very uneventful trip from home to LA. All is well. Thrilled to see my luggage and bike. Thrilled to be at hotel. Bike is put together and ready for test ride to beach. Stress of earlier today and yesterday is gone.
I took a little ride on Friday and used my Garmin to track the ride. I will try to post this Garmin data every day. Try this link

It was a great day. 30+/- mile ride with 10 other participants in this adventure. Rode over to the beach and took bike path to Manhattan Beach and then up north to the channel. Wonderful ride. Very colorful with everyone in their bright cycling jackets and red bike flags (a safety feature). Palm trees and blue sky. Many photo opertunities. A very nice group of people.
