About this event

Join us for our September Club Supported Ride (CSR) on Sunday, September 13 from Pasadena's Victory Park to Griffith Park and back! This route is has become a favoriteCSR. 


We’ve planned two route options:

  • Regular Route – a steady, scenic ride

  • Climbing Route – includes the Griffith Park climb up Trash Truck Hill and to the Observatory

Both routes will meet at a shared SAG stop in Griffith Park. After Griffith Park, both routes will continue through Kenneth Village, Glendale, up Chevy Chase, up Lida, and down into the Rose Bowl. We’ll finish back at Victory Park in Pasadena, where lunch will be waiting.

Pick the route that fits you best, ride with friends, and enjoy a great day on the bike!

This ride is supported in part by our sponsor First Wilshire.

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.
