Thursday Gravel Ride
Led by Bob Kellogg
Mandeville and Sullivan Ridge 54 miles 2,877 feet
Rating: Moderate gravel
This week, we ride a simple but beautiful route. We head north through Santa Monica and up Westridge to the Mandeville Fire Road. After a rest stop at the Nike Missile Control Site, we head across dirt Mulholland and down Sullivan Ridge Fire Road. When we get to the paved part of Sullivan Ridge you'll have the option of trying a newly discovered, mile long singletrack.
This route is suitable for all abilities. A gravel bike is recommended over a mountain bike due to the road riding between the South Bay and Santa Monica. Starts 8:30 AM at Manhattan Beach Pier |
