Still time to join the 18th Annual LA River Ride: June 3rd

Join over 2,000 other riders, and enjoy a great day of bicycling along the LA River and through Downtown LA to Long Beach. With five rides to choose from, ranging from 2 to 100 miles, there’s an experience for everyone at the LA River Ride. Bring out the little ones for a free 2-mile Kids’ Ride, or pedal with the whole family at our 15-mile Family Ride (one registration covers a family of 5!). Want a bigger challenge? Train up with our 36-mile Ride or dig into the Metric Century Plus, covering 68 miles. For those wanting to push it to the limit, the Century Ride will go from Griffith Park to Long Beach – and back – and is a great, flat route for first-time Century riders!

LA Marathon Crash Ride: 2018

DATE  3/18/2018
Meet at 3am, Roll at 4am – the Marathon Crash Ride
This ride will start at Tangs and ride the official LA Marathon Race Course
Tangs Donut, 4341 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90029

THIS ISN’T A RACE!
Tangs -> DTLA -> Tangs -> to the sea!

“we just want to do the bike ride we came out for then go have breakfast, then go home and sleep! (or whatever you want to do afterwards!)”

THIS is a RIDE — NOT A RACE
Note that this is a completely unsanctioned ride & all riders assume liability. The ride will be lead out by the LAPD.
Let’s keep it orderly & fun so we can do it again & again!

You are asked to call out potholes, turns, maneuvers. Bring your lights, locks, tubes/flat fix etc. – anything you might need while out!

One organizer made a webpage with all the links. GPXs, a TCX file, and the cue sheet HERE

Ride Bikes – HAVE FUN!!
