The Expo Ride is a non-competitive community ride associated with the Brentwood Grand Prix Criterium Bicycle Race. The tour will visit the future Metro EXPO Line Phase 2 Stations in Santa Monica including Bergamot Art Center and the Terminus at 4th and Colorado, We will see the progress since last years ride now that the project is nearing completion!

We will make a brief stop at the new Tongva Park for refreshment & bathroom break before returning to the Brentwood Grand Prix along historic San Vicente Blvd. Wristbands will be given out to ride participants for rewards back at the Brentwood Grand Prix The goal of the Expo Ride is to get community members to come learn about cycling and multi-modal options on the West Side of Los Angeles, and particularly about how the Expo Line train can help get you where you want to go without a car. We “ride down memory lane” as we learn information about the historical RED LINE along our journey.

Join the community, show your support for more transit options in Los Angeles, and have a great time along the way!
Updates and addition info will be posted as it is confirmed.
