Long Beach Rides (Long)

Distance: 64 miles and 1200 feet of elevation gain (barometric)

The long and the medium stay together for the first 9 miles and later ride many of the same streets, but the two routes are generally different. This Long starts by heading inland to Cerritos and on to La Mirada before turning back towards the coast. It rides through Buena Park and Cypress before returning to the Long Beach area. After lunch in Long Beach, it heads back out for one final loop south to Seal Beach and Westminster before once again returning to Long Beach and the finish. As you can see by the profile, the only significant climbing is on the trip to La Mirada and that tops out only about 200 feet above sea level. The other little bump at about mile 37 is a short climb around the Cal State University – Long Beach campus.
