A Shady ShLoC for a summer morning
This route includes some favorite ShLoC sections as well as exploring the shady hills of La Cañada-Flintridge and Glendale. It receives favorable reviews on its inaugural run last month, so we are doing it again, even if the weather is forecasted to be on the cooler side this Saturday.
Start Time: 8:00 AM on Saturday, August 24, in front of Descanso Gardens.

The route covers 29 miles with ~3000 feet of climbing. It is relatively short but still packs a punch to ensure a good workout.
Near the end of the ride, riders will have the opportunity for coffee and pastry at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Montrose (https://maps.app.goo.gl/jYvVxbRQ1eQn2YTt9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy ).
