Thursday Gravel Ride
Led By Bob Kellogg
Route: Park to Playa to Pump
30 miles, 1,656 ft
Ride start: 8:30 AM at Manhattan Beach Pier
This ride combines two fun destinations: Kenneth Hahn State Park and the Inglewood Pump Track. There are a couple of segments before and in Kenneth Hahn that would be challenging for a beginner, but there are alternate routes. This ride is probably best on a mountain bike, but is doable and fun on a gravel bike too.
