CYCLE WITH US ALONG COMPTON CREEK ON DECEMBER 6TH
Join us for a fun, educational bike ride along one of the tributaries of the Los Angeles River. Alex Kenefick, a representative from the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers Watershed Council and President of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) http://la-bike.org will be our tour guide.  While cycling with new friends, Alex will share with us valuable insights about Compton Creek and the watershed that drains into our beaches. There will be time for some good eats, too.
We will meet Alex on Sunday, December 6th at 11:00 AM near the Blue Line Metro station (103rd Street Street Kenneth Hahn Station). You can take your bicycle aboard the Blue Line to get there. The Blue Line leaves downtown Long Beach frequently, and takes about 30 minutes to travel north to the Kenneth Hahn Metro Station where we will meet up.
To arrive at the Kenneth Hahn station on time, a group of us will meet first at the Long Beach Transit Mall at Pine/1st St. at 10:00 AM. Our train leaves sharply at 10:16, so arrive with enough time to get your tickets!
After cycling through Dominguez Gap Parkland along the L.A. River, Alex will return to Los Angeles, while most of us will then cycle south along the L.A. River back to downtown Long Beach, heading for home.
