Join us for March’s Club Supported Ride (CSR) on an epic climbing adventure to Crystal Lake campground on Saturday, March 16.
This is a beautiful and challenging ride on some of the best roads in the San Gabriel Mountains. If you haven't done this ride before, you will be thrilled with the result and the descent! If you don't think you can make it all the way, pick a point on the route to go up to and turn around - there's no shame in not making it all the way. You'll never know your strength if you don't try. We look forward to seeing you out there!
This ride is supported in part by our sponsor Incycle

For your safety, a helmet is mandatory on PAA rides.

Check the forum and event page before the ride, in case of inclement weather which may result in a change of the route or cancellation of the event.
