Our first PAA Cycling CSR (Club Supported Ride) is on for Sunday, January 22 out of Encanto Park in Duarte. The ride, Twin Loops, is a member favorite that appeals to everyone; the climbers and the riders who enjoy the flat. The climbers will enjoy a route that will take them up Highway 39 to the backside of GMR and down the front of GMR (for an added bonus, we have an option up to Baldy Village) and back to Encanto. For those riders who want to enjoy the flat route we'll ride the Emerald Necklace loop on the San Gabriel Path then out to Glendora from Emerald Necklace and back to Encanto.
PAA's monthly rides are supported in part by:

Please Note
- All riders should be prepared to do minor repairs on the road (e.g., change a flat)
- Due to the challenging nature of most club supported rides, groups will invariably form and split up en route depending on riders levels of fitness, training goals, etc.
- For your safety, helmet is mandatory on PAA rides.
- Inclement weather or road closures may result in a change of the route or cancellation of event.
- Our SAGs will be actively sweeping for riders in need of support. Please make a note of all stops to ensure you are aware of the route and layout of mileage and elevation.
