You are right on with mapmyride.com - there are a lot of good South Bay based rides there. Search under Redondo Beach and they will come up.
Also, if you are doing a strand ride, watch out for:
- Drunk people
- Walkers
- Strollers
- Joggers
- Skaters
- Police in Redondo Beach where it says Walk Bike*
- Little kids not looking
- Grownups not looking
- Dogs
- Drunk people with walkers
- Drunk people with strollers
- Drunk people on beach cruisers
The strand is fun, and you can ride from Redondo Beach up through the South Bay, cut across the Marina into Venice and into Santa Monica. However, for the reasons above, I call it the Gauntlet.
*They'll ticket cyclists in the walk area, but ignore walkers in the "bike only" area.
