This a big 400 km loop around much of our region in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. You will head south on San Gabriel River Trail. From there you will head up the coast going through PV, Santa Monica, Malibu and Ventura. You'll head east up to Ojai then further inland, through Santa Paula, Santa Clarita, San Fernando and Pasadena. There are a couple of bike paths that might be difficult to navigate. Here is a link to some ride notes that include mileage and photos of those areas.
The start/finish is at the Hotel Huntington in Duarte. Riders are responsible for making their own hotel reservations if needed.
This is a minimally supported ride. In general, riders are responsible for finding their own food and water on course. There are some great places to stop and eat, you'll find some suggestions as POI or controls on the route. There is no SAG vehicle. Food and beer provided at the finish.
Full lights and reflective gear are required. Please see Article 10 of the RUSA Rules for Riders.
