Long Beach Rides (Medium)

Distance: 45 miles and 500 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 Medium stays with the Long on its initial ride to Cerritos but then turns to return to the Long Beach area. Once back in Long Beach, it loops around quite a bit covering various communities in the area. There is an early lunch at about mile 32, but you can also select a later lunch which is the same location as the lunch on the Long Route. However, on this Medium route, the later lunch is only a few miles from the finish. As you can see by the profile, this is a very flat route. The two little blips (miles 29 and 42) both climb essentially the same ridge near Cal State University – Long Beach.
