Participants in six rides organized by the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) will start in Griffith Park. The easy rides will stay close to Griffith Park, but the two main rides will direct cyclists south along the L.A. River bike path to Long Beach, and then return north to Griffith Park. Click on the poster icon for an overview.
And… some of us living in the Long Beach area plan a ‘Reverse Ride’ that will start in Long Beach, heading north up the Los Angeles River bike path. Some may head as far as Compton, and others will cycle all the way to Griffith Park, and then cycle back to Long Beach. Contact Long Beach Cyclists about accompanying a ‘Reverse Ride’ group. Either direction, the Los Angeles River bike path will be lively with bicycles, laughter, fast cycling, slow cycling, and people to meet of all ages.
Are you planning to ride? Would you like to cheer riders or in other ways enjoy the fun?
The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, like Long Beach Cyclists, embraces advocacy and education.
The L.A. River Ride is the LACBC’s largest annual event.

Erica Yoshimoto, the LACBC Event and Volunteer Coordinator, told me that they are planning to allow folks in Long Beach doing the long rides to start in Long Beach side and go up to Griffith Park and back, instead of having to get up to Griffith Park, ride down to the LBC, and then ride back, and then have to go back home somehow. I’ll be seeing her tonight at the River Ride volunteer meeting, and I’ll confirm with her tonight whether they’ll be doing that for sure, as it will make things a LOT easier for us in Long Beach to do the longer rides. I’ll keep you posted.
