For W.E. Ride #2, we head West and South for a tour of the LA area’s Mayberry (aka Montrose), Burbank hills, Griffith Park and its Observatory, two bike paths, and a segment of old Route 66. Riders can stop at Spoke Café on the LA River path for coffee/pastries (they have a great beer selection too, if so inclined, it’ll be 5 o’clock somewhere). The final leg takes us through scenic Pasadena neighborhoods with mild climbs to the finish.
