Palos Verdes is so beautiful! And, there are lots of hills, as I recall.

Ok, I know Foothill and Vineyard. We even went to Victoria Gardens though we got horribly lost in the process because nobody seemed to know exactly where it was!

My parents are on the other side...say if you're at the fire station on 24th, you'd go to the right. I think you are safe with the statuary. While there are some horrendously interesting houses up near them, their house is ok.

Now that you think of it, I've seen the Fillippi place on Baseline. It's after you go past the 15...or slightly before, as I recall. I lived in Twin Peaks for a long time so I'd drive either on 19th or 16th to get home after work usually, especially if I had visited my parents. Twin Peaks is by Arrowhead, is slightly before.

Sounds like you have a great training ride! I didn't find the hill that bad going up Baldy but keep in mind, I turned off when you could go back down at that intersection.

Smilingcat, I am so jealous of where you live also! It is so beautiful there!!!
