Down the Coast to the Marine Mammal Care Center (all scooters)
4700 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey, CA, USSInce it's been a bit warm lately, let's hit the beach and see the sea while checking in on -- and maybe even learning a little thing or two about
-- the local sea life!Our route is an easy ride down the coast from Marina del Rey, through the Beach Cities, around/through the Palos Verdes peninsula, to the Marine Mammal Care Center. They've been rescuing and rehabilitating seals and sea lions there since 1992. Admission and parking are free (but donations are welcomed).
Afterwards, we will continue to lunch at the longstandng (since 1962) San Pedro icon, Sorrento's Pizza House. (They don't have a website; for reference, here's their menu on Uber Eats or Postmates.)
There's no minimum engine size, but there are some high-speed sections (45+ mph) and hills (in the Palos Verdes area) so keep that in mind.
Tentative Route Map:

Swerve 'N' Curve #26 - SBSC Annual Scooter Rally! - ALL SCOOTERS (SATURDAY)
Ralph's, 4700 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey, CA, USIt's RALLY TIME AGAIN! All Scooters Welcome!
The South Bay Scooter Club presents the 26th Annual Swerve 'n' Curve, celebrating 250 years of the USA, and one of the biggest and longest-running rallies in SoCal.
It's also usually the largest ride we participate in every year.
For many LASG members, this is/was/will be their first big rally, and it's always memorable. This is a great chance to meet riders from all over the region, see an amazing array of scooters, and take a ride around the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula area.
Important info:
This meetup is for the LASG group ride to the Swerve 'n' Curve rally on Saturday, September 12th. If you're meeting us in Torrance, no need to RSVP for this ride.There is usually an optional pre-registration for the rally so folks can secure a pre-order t-shirt, which must be purchased in advance for the past couple of years -- please see the SBSC Facebook page for details. (*Link Below*)
The Swerve 'n' Curve Annual Rally is organized and run by the South Bay Scooter Club (http://www.southbayscooterclub.com),
The MAIN Event is NOT run/organized by LA Scooter Group!
FYI - Large rallies such as this — with hundreds of scooters on the ride — aren't as structured as our smaller/standard LASG group rides.
LASG Itinerary:
Meet at Ralph's on Admiralty Way at ~9:20-ish AM.
Please park on the north end of the lot, along Mindanao Way.The LA Scooter Group, ride to the ride will depart at 10:00 am. Please come early if you want to make sure to get fully caffeinated before we depart. Don't show up at 9:55 am expecting to have time for a leisurely coffee or breakfast.
The closest gas stations are on Lincoln Blvd., east of Ralph's. There is also a gas station near the rally meetup in Torrance, ~17.5 miles from our meetup.
Our tentative route to the MAIN SBSC S&C Meetup: https://goo.gl/maps/5KPHVTbe1DZA65to6
There is only one tricky part: At Crenshaw, do NOT turn left -- instead, go through the intersection and immediately turn into the SKETCHERS (Not Sponsored*) parking lot on the right and regroup. Once the whole group is reassembled in the SKETCHERS parking lot, we will exit onto Crenshaw and continue to the rally starting point.
The route is simple, but long, with many stoplights. Traffic WILL break the group up -- don't worry about catching up, just keep going down PCH. We'll regroup before the big turn at Crenshaw. (And unless you see a Norms Restaurant on your right, you didn't miss the turn.)
The route is friendly for all scooters.
Once at the rally gathering, we'll hang out for about 30 minutes to an hour, checking out scooters and socializing as other groups and riders arrive.
