Thursday Gravel Ride
Led By Bob Kellogg
Ride start: 8:30 at Manhattan Beach Pier
30 miles, 1656 ft
Route: Park to Playa to Pump
This ride combines two fun destinations: Kenneth Hahn State Park and the Inglewood Pump Track. We leave MB Pier at 8:30. 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.

Enjoy a beautiful ride up the west coast of the Palos Verdes Peninsula with views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and maybe an occasional whale.

We will make a bathroom and water stop at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center scenic overlook (AKA Whale Watch) before returning back home.
We may break into a faster and slower group if we have a large diversity of rider levels. Post ride refreshments at a local cafe a possibility after the ride. |
