Firecracker 42 Mile Bike Ride

Ride through the LA River, Glendale, Eagle Rock, Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, South Pasadena, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights. This is a mix of bike path, bike lanes and urban streets. You are going to see a huge spectrum of neighborhoods from campsites to multimillion dollar mansions. This is a fantastic way to experience the sights, smells and diversity of Los Angeles County on 2 wheels with fellow cyclists.
