👋 Join Us!
To kick-off and celebrate Earth Week 🌎, we’re hosting a community bike ride to connect with nature, LA's bike friendly infrastructure, and with our local community. 💚
Come ride with us! We'll be starting along the San Gabriel River all the way to the ocean! 🏖️ And the best part? This ride is a leisurely, all downhill bike ride!
You can hop off early and connect to Metro if you don’t want to ride the full distance, or stick it out all the way to Long Beach and take the train back.
We’ll ride through the San Gabriel River greenway, passing through a range of landscapes from inland parks to the coast. It's a fun way to experience the river corridor from a totally different perspective.
⏱️ Agenda
10:00 AM – Meet at bike entry
10:15 AM – Depart southbound along SGR greenway
~12:00 PM – Break at Wilderness Park. Option to exit and connect to Metro (C Line → A Line)
~1:30 PM – Break at The Beach House @ Seal Beach
~3:00 PM – Arrive at Long Beach Metro Station
At your pace:
Return via Metro A Line (~2 hours back to Irwindale/start area)
📍 Where to Meet
We’re meeting at the Santa Fe Dam bike entrance. For navigation, use:
197 S Peckham Rd, Azusa, CA 91702
If arriving by public transit (via Irwindale Station):
Head south on Irwindale Ave → right on W 1st St → left on S Peckham Rd
⚠️ Do not trust the first Google Maps route—it may take you on a much longer route. Approach from the north side, not the south.
If driving/carpooling:
There is public street parking available along S Peckham Rd and W 1st St.
A Few Notes / Recommendations
Plan for ~4.5 hours of riding total (including breaks)
Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, and a bike lock
Helmets strongly encouraged
This will be a casual, social pace—not a race
We’ll regroup at planned stops so no one gets left behind
(I’ll help guide the route, but having a few people willing to sweep or help keep the group together would be great)
