About this event
Join us for September's Club Supported Ride (CSR): Tour de Palos Verdes on Sunday, September 17! The ride begins and ends Playa Del Rey. We ride south along the PV perimeter enjoying wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean. There is so much diverse beach life to look at as you ride. The weather is cool and inviting and ending at the beach for lunch is a real pleasure.
Meet at Del Rey Lagoon Park in Playa del Rey (aka Lagoon Park). Lagoon Park is at 6899 Pacific Ave., Playa del Rey. Take Culver off the 90 (Marina Fwy) close to the end, turn right onto Esplanade (few city blocks past Vista del Mar) and go a block or so. Park at the lot on the left off of Esplanade, next to restrooms; riders can park in this small lot or nearby on the street. Additional large parking lot on Pacific Ave. Carpooling is strongly suggested. The park will also be a perfect place to have lunch after the ride.
Start out of Del Rey Lagoon Park head to Culver Blvd turn Right on to Culver and weaver our way onto the Beach Bike Path. Enjoy the beach ride through El Segundo,Manhattan Beach exit onto Hermosa Blvd and into Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes. Continue riding on Palos Verdes Drive West, Palos Verdes South, climb the switchbacks on PV Dr. East & come back via PV Dr North.
We will include an optional bonus climb up Crest Rd at SAG 2 after the switchbacks but if you do, it does make the ride closer to 50 miles.
This month's PAA CSR ride is supported in part by: Around the Cycle
