Angeles Crest Ride
Angeles Forest with quiet biking & great views of Los Angeles. Fast-paced climbing ride. This is a 3-4 hour ride in the mountains with occasional high-speed traffic whizzing by.
On circular routes, multiple meet-ups enable us to rejoin en route. On out & back routes, we rejoin on the descents back to La Canada. If you check in at SBUX by 5:50am prior to the ride, we will not leave you.
6:00am clip-in & go to avoid traffic. Back by 9:30am/10am.
This is a ride that requires you have a rear view mirror & use it. Hear a vehicle behind you - look at it!
Starbucks - 475 Foothill Blvd, La Canada. Early start to avoid traffic. Please arrive by 5:30 for coffee, croissants & bike prep. 6:00am clip-in & launch.
<p>
Regroup at points along the route for safety. We all come back down to SBUX together.
Please have rear view mirror(s), helmet, bottles, snacks, phone, tail & head lights, flat kit, & spare tubes.
On descents, please avoid: (1) 40+ mph descents, (2) aero position, (3) weaving around (passing) vehicles, or (4) drafting behind vehicles. The "hay bales" on the side of the road are granite, not hay.
<p>
Ride is strenuous with several inherent risks. Please be conservative with risks. Have fun.
When you hear racing or squealing tires behind you, please take a few seconds to get off the road.
<p>
Don't stay on the road if you hear racing. Get completely off the road & look at the crazy racers as they pass you at 60+ mph. Focusing on the threat greatly reduces risk.
