Trying to fill the gaps left in Bike Week programming, we’re leading a pre-Bike Week family ride to the beach. This ride is for people of all ages and ride experience and is planned to be a slow ride. We’ll start at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church’s patio (11555 National Blvd., also where we held our re-launch party last August) at 10:30 A.M. The route: South down Barrington Blvd. before heading west on Venice.. Another turn on Abbot Kinney before heading West on Washington Boulevard. We’ll have more details on the ride (sponsors, schwag, a stop on the way…) early next week.

Major Changes to Friday’s Park(ing) Day Ride – No More Santa Monica!

By Damien Newton | Sep 16, 2009

All images from the Park(ing) Day LA website Unfortunately, I have to announce some major changes to the planned Park(ing) Day ride for Friday. Unlike last year, there aren’t any parks planned for the City of Santa Monica so it seems like a bad idea to try and start a ride at 7:30 A.M. at […]
