Tuesday LA Explorers Ride
Led By Mario Obejas
Ride Start: 9:00 at Captain Kidd's
Route: The Hollywood Sign
L2/L3 Pace: 57 miles 2,511 ft
Nothing is more iconic to LA than the Hollywood Sign. But have you ever been up there, 100 feet behind the letters? That's where we are going. The grade up Mt. Lee is steep (13%) at times, but the vista is the reward. The last time we rode here was January 2024. Note: this time the ascent route is slightly modified after the Beachwood Market stop, attempting to route a slightly less steep and less busy set of roads up the grade to the Deronda gate. |

Thursday Gravel Ride
Led By Bob Kellogg
Ride start: 8:30 at Manhattan Beach Pier
49 miles, 2,7771 ft
Route: Up Sullivan, Down Canyonback
We begin with a leisurely ride up the coast to Santa Monica. We'll ride up Sullivan Ridge Fire Road, then down Canyonback Fire Road. With the exception of one optional detour on Canyonback (Whoops Trail, the most fun trail in the city of LA), the trails are all wide fire roads but there are some sustained hills. Intermediate or strong beginners on a gravel or mountain bike will be fine. You can cut out some road miles by starting in Santa Monica. Please coordinate with the ride leader if you plan to start somewhere other than MB Pier.
