Bicycling or walking to the Energy Fair?
Steep Hills! The South Bay Energy Fair will take place in Rancho Palos Verdes, a community located on a large hill. The roads leading into Rancho Palos Verdes are not only STEEP, but also LONG. You must ascend 700 feet in the distance of only 2 miles. I have seen very athletic cyclists ride this hill as a sort of training or challenge ride. In addition to this, there are very few bike lanes or sidewalks on the roads going into Rancho Palos Verdes. In some places, untrimmed vegetation extending onto the road forces you to ride closer to the car traffic. I have ridden it before, and I found it very unnerving. So, my Fellow Truly Committed & Brave Souls on Bicycles, be careful if you decide to ride to the Energy Fair! Thank you.
