a really cool thing about Long Beach is the Grand Prix, where they turn the downtown streets into a race track. That's always a lot of fun. I can't remember but I think its not far from Hermosa Beach and Manhatten Beach if you prefer a smaller community. I loved the bike path on the beach. I lived in Santa Monica and used to ride up toward Hermosa along the beach just about every evening. :stoned: :smokin: California girls are soo hot, especially in a bikini and roller blades. imp:
