South Bay Surprise (Short)

Distance: 27 miles and 900 feet of elevation gain (mapping software)

All three routes start out together heading east through Carson. While the long continues east, this short route cuts south just a bit earlier than the medium cuts off. Although the medium goes south all the way into Long Beach for lunch, this short goes south only a short distance before turning west back toward the start. It rejoins the medium (and long) for the stretch back through Carson and Torrance to finish the loop. As you can see by the profile, the route never gets much above 100 feet above sea level all day. On the map, the blue portion is the common start and finish with the medium route and the pink is where this short cuts the medium route short.
