It's Peak Jaranda time! A tour of Jacaranda street trees in Culver City, West LA and Santa Monica. This will be a fairly easy and flat ride. We take the Ballona Creek path to Syd K park then ride in neighborhood streets through the cities to the north. We will stop to take pictures at particularly inspiring sites - just call it out if you want to stop to take a picture. I used the publicly available TreeKeeper database to research the locations of Jacaranda street trees. 47.1 mi, 1303 ft, Jacaranda trees tour - Ride Leader : Mario Obejas
Pace : L2/L3 (17-19), more in L3 range during urban riding Ride start is 9am, at the plaza just south of Captain Kidd's The Tuesday ride varies by design. If you want novelty, this is your ride. Routes vary between ~35-55 miles, 1000-3000 feet of climbing, typically in the middle third of the distance range (41-49 miles). If we go to an eating place, expect a "digestion pace" on the return. We often go to places that would otherwise be too crowded on a weekend (eg, Hollywood Sign, Inspiration Point, Porto's, etc). We are usually done by 1-2pm, and a coffee or meal stop is customary (usually at the end; sometimes that's the destination).
