East LA: Summer Family Friendly Rides - 2021

This 9.3 mile ride starts in East LA and heads northeast through the hilly streets of Monterey Park. This ride is for people who are familiar with shifting gears and feel comfortable completing 10 miles. This ride will provide a new challenge for beginner to intermediate riders who want to test their climbing ability. As much as there is climbing, there’s also a lot of downhill portions that can be fun! This ride is best suited for people comfortable speeding downhill and controlling their balance and breaks. This route officially ends at Atlantic Station along the L (Gold) Line, half a mile away from our starting point at the East LA Civic Center. This ride also offers families with children a chance to learn more about some wildlife and trees along this route. The five parks we will be visiting along the way all have restrooms and places to take a shady break. The route itself doesn’t have much of a tree canopy/shade.
