Women Bike through Griffith Park

A wonderful bike ride through Griffith Park. We will meet at 8:00 a.m with a roll out time of 8:15. I will be wearing the Lidel Trek Kit that the Lidel Trek team wore in the Tour De France Femmes. We will leave the parking lot and head down Crystal Springs Drive past the Gene Autry museum located on our right. Crystal Springs Drive turns into Zoo Drive where we will pass travel town on our left. We will go up the hill using Griffith Park Drive and then down the hill, passing the golf Course on our left. For those that want a longer Ride, take a left at the stop sign and do the loop again. For others, turn right at the stop sign and head back to the parking lot.

Day Zero RIde

Day Zero Ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to take amazing pictures from the other side overlooking the bridge and the city. It's about a 14 mile round trip and we leave this early to avoid the tourist walking on the bridge. It is an exhilarating ride across the bridge with a short stop on the other side and then a short climb to get above the bridge for some amazing photo opportunities. Some of us will ride straight back afterwards and others will ride over to Sausalito for a scrumptious breakfast before coming back to the hotel. Gather in front of our HOST HOTEL the Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf at 7:15 AM for a safety talk and then ride out at 7:30 AM. NOTICE: this is not a sanctioned ride with the Arthritis Foundation.

Let's go to the California Avocado Festival in Carpinteria by Train!

What could be more quintessentially California than a festival paying tribute to the Avocado, full of different guacamoles, and getting there on the Pacific Surfliner? This is the 40th year they've been having this festival. There is even Avocado ice cream! Entry to the Festival is free, and the booths are sponsored by local non-profits to raise money for their worthy causes. We've done this trip a couple of times, and it's always been fun. This unique festival is in Carpinteria, only a couple of blocks from the Carpinteria Amtrak station. It's one of the largest festivals in California, with three days of fabulous food and terrific music. [https://avofest.com/](https://avofest.com/) In case you didn't know, Santa Barbara County is the third largest avocado producer in North America, with Carpinteria being a major contributor. As the Festival has grown, so do the number of participants and festival-goers. In past years, over forty non-profit groups benefited by catering to 100,000 avocado visitors. The California Avocado Festival™ itself is a non-profit group that generates its own operating revenue each year. The annual event is completely organized by a committee of volunteers, and includes one part-time staff person. Our group will take the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles, to Carpinteria. We'll walk to the Festival from the Amtrak station, just a few blocks. See a video from last year's festival [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u9kEXivElM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u9kEXivElM)[QI7U](https://youtu.be/C5BR4_hQI7U) **You need to buy your Amtrak round-trip ticket for Sunday, October 4, on the Amtrak web site.** **Train numbers are below**. [https://www.amtrak.com/home.html](https://www.amtrak.com/home.html) Our group will take the 765 Pacific Surfliner -- leaving Union Station at 9:13am, arriving in Carpinteria at 11:27am. Ticket prices: Senior ($30 Coach) Return trip: 790 Pacific Surfliner -- leaving Carpinteria at 4:57pm, arriving at Union Station at 7:43pm. Ticket prices: Senior ($30 Coach) There are two areas to park at Union Station. One, East, is $8 for the day, the other, West, is $16 for the day. See the map in the photo. The Union Station web site says the West area has limited parking, so it might be best to plan to park in the East structure. We can form carpools closer to the event date. Join us to Celebrate 40 Years of Peace Love & Guacamole!

RoadRunners group ride, L.A. (1st Saturday)

\*\*Mweep Mweep!\*\*━━ or is it Beep Beep? We are a growing community of cyclists who enjoy exploring Southern California on two wheels with friends. Our rides range from leisurely social outings to challenging, high-intensity adventures and we welcome guests on all our rides. The **Black Folk™ RoadRunners Bike Group** meet every 1st Saturday morning for rides of varying difficulty, starting from various locations in and around the Los Angeles area. We also administer and record Century Challenge rides, where cyclists can test themselves on 100-mile routes. Many of our rides take place on roads and trails less traveled and our calendar also contains special rides and events, highlighted by our signature ride, *The Black Tour*, in late February. This fully supported 24-hour event includes options for Double Century, Triple, and Quad rides. Throughout the year, we challenge cyclists with other featured rides, and our social events help us replenish the calories we burn while riding. Guests and Out-of-town cyclists are welcome on every ride.

Intermediate Pickleball, level 3.0-3.5 in South Pasadena (FREE)

Come join us for weekly friendly games of lower intermediate to intermediate level pickleball! Our goal is to create a group of reliable regulars and newcomers that are roughly the same level and want to play for social fun and exercise, but still challenge themselves to play better and better. (This is our second event. Once the heat subsides we'll set our permanent time and confirm the location) **LEVEL**: Lower intermediate to fully intermediate, approx. 3.0-3.5 level. We are friendly and welcoming, but this is **NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS OR EVEN ADVANCED BEGINNERS.** If you are advanced intermediate (above 3.5) feel free to join us, but take it easy on the smashing and be encouraging towards the rest of us. **HOW IT WORKS:** We'll play on two courts and ideally we need 10-12 players for the best experience. **EVERYONE WILL GET TO PLAY MOST OF THE TIME** and against most other players. No cliques here! The winning pair on court A will move to court B and the losing pair will stay. The losing pair from court B will queue up for court A. Everyone will switch partners each time. Most people will keep on moving in-between the courts depending on the level of their partner and one should not care too much about the court for a friendly experience. **COMMITMENT:** Because we need exactly 10-12 people it is important that people sign up only if they are certain that they will attend and drop out as early as possible, if necessary. We need eight people to start and finish on both courts, so please be on time and plan to stay for full 2h. If some people want to play another 1/2-1h I will stay to provide the nets. Anyone cancelling in the last 24h before an event more than one time every so often will not be invited back. No guests allowed, unless I know them and I add them as my guests. **WAITLIST** (if needed) Regulars with good attendance records will get some priority. **NO CRASHING, PLEASE!** **BRING**: Your paddle, water and possibly a chair. I will provide the nets and the balls. **COURTS**: We will play on free courts that are easily available, but we have no reservations. (in the unlikely event that the courts are not available we will drive 3min to another S.Pas. location) There is not much fencing, so we play with many balls and let them run off till the end of the game. **ETIQUETTE:** 1) Have fun! 2) No apologizing for bad shots! 3) Tips on how to improve as players are appreciated, but only in between games. During a game only positive comments for good vibes, please! **PARKING**: Easy, free street parking. Enter from Bank St. **RESTROOMS**: Usually there is a Port-a-Potty on location. Drinking fountains are available. **LIABILITY**: The organizer is an uncompensated and untrained volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries, health issues, material losses and for assessing all risks. Each member shall make their guests aware of these policies and releases the host from all liability.
