Yeah I know, I can't believe it is that time of year again. But spring is here so that must mean it is time for the LA Marathon again. And of course that means my lazy ass stays on the bike and rides the course again.
I must say I am getting particularly good at getting the timing down. This year I parked on Adams, 2 blocks away for free and rode into the back of the line right on time at 5:50am.
There was much better weather for the runners this year which means it was a bit chilly for the bikers.
I don't know if this is just because I started at the back but there was one additional stop I don't remember last year, about four miles in after the merge just north of Watts. Do they normally clear the cars on that street and just forgot this year. Whatever, I survived. And I saw a lot less falls this year and no one getting ridden over.
