We've added a MLK Day ride for Monday since many members are off for the Holiday.
With rain include in the recent weather forecast, my advice is;
1) If you look out and see it raining, it's likely the ride is canceled.
2) If rain is forecast, but only cloudy, go to the start and see if the ride is a go.
Today (Saturday 1/14/23) the second item above occurred. The sky was cloudy, rain likely within a couple of hours, so we decided to change the route that follows closely to the Gold Line so that in the event of rain, we could bail out and take the Gold Line back to Pasadena. This is a nifty rainy day trick we learned for Stan Schwarz.
We went to the LA Central Market with no issue, but by the time we were done with break, the rain had started. We simply jumped on to the Red Line to the Gold Line then to Pasadena. Our only extended exposure to the rain was from the Allen Station to Victory Park.
Sunday; Easy Ride; 8 AM Start Start and end, CalTech Tennis courts near the Athenaeum The 20 mile or less ride starts from Caltech (corner of Hill and San Pasqual) and heads to a local breakfast destination. This Sunday; This week's destination, Homestate, Altadena Sunday; Moderate Ride; 8 AM Start The ride is typically 40 miles departing from Victory Park, Parking lot North side of Paloma St, and is for those looking for interesting sites and faster pace ride than the Sunday Easy Ride. Well, the weather is looking iffy again. The current forecast says it's supposed to rain Saturday but stop that night. And then it's supposed to start again Sunday afternoon. So we're going to do the east-facing Metro Rail Tour. That's out to Glendora and back, never more than two miles from the nearest Metro Rail station, in case we need to bail out along the way. So bring your TAP card if you have one. And if not, I have several spare ones in my bike bag. Monday; Moderate Ride; 8 AM Start - MLK Day Start Elks Lodge, Pasadena, Ride Ride Rating; intermediate or advanced beginner mostly for 31 mile distance and some climbing Description: Starting in Pasadena, head West through Glendale, Burbank and down the LA River Bike trail. Get off the bike path to head into Silver Lake and finally discover the collection of Victorian houses that were once an exclusive neighborhood in the 1890's. Then drop down to Nick's Cafe that has become a club favorite for a break. Return to the start via Lincoln Heights and South Pasadena. The 30 mile ride will be lots of fun. |
