I spent the night in a motel in Torrance, and then got ready to cycle out of Los Angeles. My time cycling through USA was almost at an end, but Mexico awaited!

Leaving Torrance

After having breakfast at both Subway and McDonalds it was time to brave the traffic and escape from L.A. (great film by the way!).

I was already on Highway One, so it was just a matter of following it until I could follow it no more.

The traffic wasn't too bad to start with, what with it being Sunday, but it soon built up. With plenty of drink breaks, it was just head down and get on with it.
