Gelsons Market, 4520 Van Nuys Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA, US

Dust off your favorite costume and prep your rides—it’s time for the Los Angeles Scooter Group’s 2026 Halloween Ride!

We are putting together a classic, scenic trek over the hills, stopping by a legendary haunted house, and ending right in the middle of LA's biggest Halloween street bash.

The Plan:
We'll kick things off at Gelson's in Sherman Oaks on Van Nuys Blvd. Grab a coffee, gas up, and show off your costumes before we head out. From the Valley, we will climb over the hills into Beverly Hills to marvel at the iconic, spooky Spadena House (The Witch’s House). After a quick photo op, we’ll make our final push into West Hollywood to park and join the world-famous West Hollywood Carnivale Street Party.

Zipping the Hills 23 - The Best of France & Italy 2026 - ALL SCOOTERS WELCOME!!

Sun, Nov 1 · 8:30 AM PST

Gelson's Market, 4738 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, US

ATTENTION, THE CLOCKS CHANGE AT 2 AM, DON'T FORGET!!
- Thanks, Daylight Saving Time...

PLEASE join us for a fun little trek through the Hollywood Hills and a FREE car show! The Best of France & Italy (http://www.franceanditaly.com) is a great little gathering of autos specializing in European transportation & vehicles. It's held at Woodley Park in Lake Balboa, which hosts numerous events throughout the year, like car exhibits, carnivals, and even dog shows.

The only fee is to enter a vehicle for judging at the event (probably none of us). However, attending, walking around the park, and looking at the cars is totally free. It should be a blast, and the price is right—Citroëns and Alfa Romeos as far as the eye can see!

Brief Ride Description: This ride will take us all on a tour of several neighborhoods in and around the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Beverly Glen, Bel Air, and Encino. We'll end up at the show and swap meet.

Along the route, we will surely see many of the largest and most amazing homes in our area and witness some of the best views to be had in the middle of Los Angeles; vistas from the Westside to Downtown, as well as the San Fernando Valley.

Itinerary:
(*MEETUP IS EARLIER TO TRY AND ARRIVE AT EVENT AROUND NOON*)
We will meet up in Valley Village at Gelson's at 8:30 a.m. Gather and chat, allowing time for stragglers to arrive. If you would like to grab a coffee or snack from the coffee shop in that shopping center or something from Gelson's, please be sure to arrive with ample time to do so.

Then we will do the pre-ride chat at around 9:00 a.m., with the approximate departure from Gelson's at 9:15 a.m.

Route Description:

PLEASE ARRIVE WITH ENOUGH FUEL FOR THE RIDE, NO GAS STOP!!!
(~30-35 miles)

We'll head up Laurel Canyon to Mulholland and over past the Hollywood sign, then back to Mulholland and over to Coldwater Canyon. We will make a quick stop for a stretch at the Virginia Robinson Garden, then we will get back on the road. After the stretch stop at the Garden, we'll head back north via Beverly Glen for a quick jaunt along Mulholland, cross the bridge over the 405, head down Hayvenhurst to Burbank Boulevard, then over to Woodley Ave and the north end of Woodley Park for the Event.

Tentative Route: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VhBCt9CSW5t7kNVv5

DIFFICULTY AND RESTRICTIONS:
Due to posted speeds in some sections and the many hill climbs, this ride is suitable for intermediate and advanced scooter riders with no minimum engine size...
ALL SCOOTERS WELCOME.

Please note that the route includes difficult terrain, sharp curves, and occasional road hazards. We'll keep the pace brisk but fairly easygoing, though, and make stops when sensible and necessary. This is a more scenic, enjoyable cruise, but it's not suitable for beginners. Experience in canyons and riding Mulholland Drive is recommended. Please do not ride with a passenger unless you have the experience and equipment to do so.

While we will be riding in the daylight, there may be temperature changes along the route in the canyons. So be mindful when preparing your apparel for the day.

The Description / Information from the Event Page:
"Come join us at Woodley Park, Van Nuys for a day with the best of French and Italian motoring machinery. This is a non-judged show, from the rough restoration project to the serious concourse offering. All are welcome, and our pricing structure is geared toward the collector with more than one vehicle.

If you don't have a car, plenty will be for sale among the rows of gleaming machinery. This gathering intends to provide a meeting place for those marques that get little attention at the fancier concourse. If you're looking to unload the garage or for that special part, check out our swap meet."

Disclaimer:
The car show/rally is not organized by LASG. For any questions regarding details and specifics about the Event, we recommend contacting the event organizers via the website link.
