We’ll circle around the LB Shoreline Aquatic Park with a glimpse of Lion’s Lighthouse. We will jump on the Big Queens Way Bridge via the Bike Path, cross over the Los Angeles River into Harry Bridges Memorial Park and stop at the Beautiful Queen Mary. Finally we will head back to Huntington Beach. We will stop several (6-8) times along the way to take some awesome photos and to re-group.
