Saturday Ride 8 AM Start Larchmont Lacuna, 37 miles Starts in Victory Park, Pasadena Ride Rating; intermediate or advanced beginner mostly for 37 mile distance Ride Description: A ride from Gene Rossini that takes us to Larchmont Village for lunch. Notes: The pride and joy of LA's tiny Hancock Park neighborhood, this four-block commercial strip makes a refreshing contrast to more touristy spots like Universal City Walk or the Third Street Promenade. Most of the street's buildings were constructed during the 1920s, and the affable, neighborly atmosphere of shops like Larchmont Hardware and the Landis General Store seem to emanate from another era entirely. The painfully up-to-date prices at Larchmont Village's clothing boutiques and antique shops may make you wince, but a relaxing meal at one of the strip's many cafes and trattorias will definitely restore your spirits.
