NEW RIDE ROUTES FOR 2011 & TWO SEPARATE RIDES

We listened to our feedback from last year’s participants and have gone back to our original format with two separate rides, a recreational ride and an advanced ride.  The overlapping routes offer something fun for riders of all levels.  The advanced ride will head out at a challenging pace of 15 – 18 MPH average over a 47.8 mile route that includes two challenging hill climbs toward the end of the route.  The recreational ride will roll at a more leisurely pace of 10 -12 MPH for approximately 31 miles.  The recreational ride will be less hilly, but also has a two short, steep climbs to finish the ride (sorry, there’s just no way back to the Police Academy without a climb!).

Both rides have a new twist on the routes we have taken in years past.  We will be going by a lot of the same places and a lot of new places.  Our goal is to showcase the unique and diverse nature of the City of Angels.

SUPPORTING THE CITY'S LITTLE ANGELS

This year we have remained true to our roots and are excited and very proud to be helping a new charity serve the community's health needs. Our goal for this year is to help UCLA Hospitals & Mattel Childrens Hospital buy a new box truck. We are going to offer a special incentive to riders and friends who bring an extra check for $20 made out to the event charity…they will receive 25 raffle tickets for their contribution to the event raffle. For more details go to the Event Charity page. With event costs increasing dramatically…we need our riders help and generosity more than ever to reach our charitable goals. Together we know we can do it!
