WE is back!! And there will be Tacos and Guac at Around the Cycle (AtC)!
Welcome to February!
Saturday's Weekend Endurance ride starts at Descanso Gardens and takes us on a journey through Glendale to Griffith Park and up to the Observatory. We descend to the LA River Trail and connect to the Arroyo Seco Trail. We then Head East to Sierra Madre and then loop back to finish the route at Around the Cycle, where there will be massive amounts of guacamole (or so I am told).
AtC is holding an Eaton Fire Relief event from 12-4 on Saturday, so we thought it would be appropriate to show our support. A link to the event page is here: https://aroundthecycle.com/pages/eaton-fire-relief
PLEASE NOTE: The starting time is 9am which should put us at AtC around 1pm.
Start: 9:00 AM at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada-Flintridge. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/MCVp4P6vEWcKE8kD7 )
