Pasadena Cyclavia Ride

Join us on a beautiful bicycle ride through the city of Roses for the next Cyclvia which is returning to the SG valley after a long hiatus. Enjoy car-free streets and human powered transport that makes this popular event.

One we get going we can ride over to the east end of the event at San Gabriel Blvd and then head west via Colorado Blvd and as the mood strikes can continue to the Rose Bowl loop and to La Canada, Montrose or Down to South Pasadena. Note this route does have some hills so be prepared for some leg burn!

On the way back we can stop at Mission St. in South Pasadena which has a variety of places to fuel up and rest for ride back to the start point.
