WE-ride, Sunday, July 21, 8:00 AM - Seven City Shade Excursion
What could be finer than to ride along shady local streets on a warm summer’s day? Our route this Sunday explores the loveliest tree-lined parts of seven local cities, starting from Descanso Gardens in La Cañada-Flintridge, descending into Pasadena and South Pasadena, meandering through San Marino, then over to Arcadia and Sierra Madre before returning through Altadena. At the end of the ride, Gio’s Café and Handel’s Ice Cream in LCF are waiting for us!
