SATURDAY TRAINING RIDES
During the non-racing season (Sep - Dec), we meet and do a variety of
rides. Short and long, hard and easy, depending on the feeling of the
group. All rides start and finish at Liemert Park in Los Angeles' Crenshaw
District. Roll out at 8:15.
During the race season (Jan - Aug), we join a group of 100 to 200 riders
and do a group training ride we call "Montrose". This ride starts in
Desconso Gardens in La Canada near the Rose Bowl and covers about 45
miles on it's way to the official "end" in Sierra Madre. Once we reach the
finish, we ride about another 5 miles back to our starting point. This "race
paced" ride starts at 8:20 from the Trader Joe's Market in South Pasadena

have so many riding group options to choose from. We'll usually discuss it
after Saturday's ride.

weekends a month throughout Southern California.
