But really, don't leave your wallet there because it will be a pretty long ride back if you've got got to get it. While the mileage is some of the longest of all the Snack Friday routes, they are easygoing miles; sticking almost exclusively to protected bike paths, with one steep climb as we ascend from the beach bike path into El Segundo. There's no shame in hopping off to walk it and you can take comfort in knowing that rest of the inclines around the city o El Segundo will just be little rollers as we work our way around a trio of breweries; El Segundo Brewing, The Boardroom, Five Point Five Brewing, and Sugar Monkey Brewing. Since these destinations all close fairly early, we could easily miss last call at one or more stops so, on our way back from El Segundo we'll make one last stop at The Shack for a night cap and karaoke.
Regroup at the service shoulder along Ballona Creek Bike Path by Culver High, the Jetty, and a special FedEx parking lot.
