Join us for April’s Club Supported Ride (CSR) on an epic climbing adventure to Crystal Lake campground on Saturday, April 11.
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

GUESTS ARE WELCOME
We welcome guests to join us on our rides! Each Club Supported ride is $20 for guests (whether or not you plan to eat lunch), except for the Summer of Love Ride. Guests are asked to register online prior to the morning of the ride, sign the waiver, and pay the guest fee. If registration has closed, you may still sign up on the morning of the ride (on select rides); however, payment is required at check-in—please do not arrive without your $20 guest fee. Payment can be made via Zelle, Venmo, or cash.
REGISTER/CANCEL REGISTRATION
Please Register for each of our rides as we use the number registered to buy lunch. If you can't make the ride (after registering), please Cancel Registration through the event page (Guests please contact us directly). When we buy food for 100 people registered, but only 60 people show up, we have a lot of wasted food and it cuts into our budgets. By registering, you also sign the mandatory waiver.
If you don't register and show up the morning of the ride, not only does it slow down the process of marking attendance (as you must sign a waiver), but we can't get an accurate headcount for lunch.
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.
