Take an urban bike adventure!!!  See Los Angeles like you’ve never seen it before…with a rolling traffic closure. 

This year’s ride will be different that the past few years…we are combining the recreational and advanced rides for the first portion of the ride…So come to have fun…enjoy the ride…support the cause.  Remember, above all it is a fun ride and not a race…but you still have to keep the pace!  Ride registration is limited and will fill up…register early.

Recreational & Advanced rides will start together at 7:00am sharp…and roll at a moderate recreational pace of 12 – 13 MPH average for the first 25 miles.  (Advanced riders will have to be patient and enjoy the ride experience…your fun will come in the 2nd half!!! – Do not try to push the pace).  The ride will loop back by Dodger Stadium before finishing at the Police Academy.  This ride is not suggested for children.

Advanced Riders will get a brief rest stop with food and water of about 15 – 20 minutes, and take a bathroom break if needed.  Then clip-in for a more challenging and fast paced 31 mile loop with memorable city and mountain views.  Total distance of the combined ride will be 53 miles. 

Ride Speeds will vary based on terrain, road conditions and other issues that would affect the pack.

If you cannot maintain the pace, you have two options: 1) drop off the ride and get picked up by the SAG bus; or 2) Take a map of the route at the beginning of the ride and finish the route…remember you MUST obey all traffic laws if you fall out of the pack.  Route Maps will be available at the start of the ride.

There is only one rest stop on the advanced ride…and no rest stop on the recreational ride

If you have a mechanical or other issue…please pull carefully to the curb on the right and notify a ride marshal, event staff or LAPD officer.  We do have a SAG pick-up bus and bike truck and minimal roving mechanical repair ability.

Be courteous to other riders, ride volunteers…and the police escort.  Please follow the directions of the LAPD officers leading the ride. 

Helmets are required for all riders.
No Headphones allowed
Bicycles ONLY allowed in the ride
Water will be available at the start area and during the rest stop prior to the advanced ride taking off.  Please make sure you are properly hydrated.  Portable bathrooms will also be available.

Your rider numbers must be visible at all times. Either pinned to your front or back.  Riders without numbers will be escorted out of the rolling closure.
