Tuesday LA Explorers Ride
Led By Mario Obejas
Ride Start: 9:00 at Captain Kidd's
Route: Tigertail, Frank Lloyd Wright House, East SaMo
L2/L3 Pace: 43 miles 1,596 ft
We go north to Bundy, but climb less travelled Tigertail. On the return, we make a brief stop to view the George Sturgess House, built in 1939 by Frank Lloyd Wright. We proceed downhill and return along east Santa Monica. Note: There is a short 15% section at the end that is not for the faint of heart. It's OK to skip it as long as you
1. tell the ride leader ahead of time and 2. have patience to wait for others to return from the climb.
We haven't done this route since March 2024 |

Thursday Gravel Ride
Led By Bob Kellogg
Ride start: 8:30 at Manhattan Beach Pier
37 miles 2,133 ft

Leaving MB Pier at 8:30, we work our way over to Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area and spend some time exploring their plentiful trails. We can follow the route or break off and explore anything that looks interesting. This is an intermediate level ride with some tricky off-road segments. This ride is probably best on a mountain bike, but is doable and fun on a gravel bike too.
