Touring L.A. County with LACBC and Where to Bike: Route 66

When: Sunday, December 22; meet at 8:30 a.m., ride at 9:00 a.m.

Where: Union Station in downtown Los Angeles - 800 N. Alameda, Los Angeles, 90012 (Meet in the garden courtyard on the south side of the main concourse of Union Station.)

Route 66, also known as the Mother Road, Main Street of America, or the Will Rogers Highway, is one of our Nation's first interstate highways. Opened in 1926, it rolls west from Chicago. In our end of the country, it passes through Azusa, Pasadena, downtown L. A., and on to its unofficial terminus at the Pier in Santa Monica. On this 40-mile tour, we'll experience a bit of this historic highway by following a bike friendly version of Route 66 (the current official route is on the 101 Freeway from downtown to Hollywood) from Union Station west on Sunset Boulevard, then Fountain Avenue, then Santa Monica Boulevard and a few side streets to the ocean. Along the way, we'll ride down holiday decorated streets in Silver Lake, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles and Santa Monica. After a short break at the Pier, we'll meander back to downtown on Main Street, Abbot Kenney, Venice Boulevard, and another Main Street. More info.
