Starts in Live Oaks Park, Temple City, Pasadena
Ride Rating; Intermediate for distance
Ride Description: Nice ride heading East after starting in Temple City. A particularly interesting stretch on Rt 66 starting at the 13 mile mark where you can get a sense of what Rt 66 was like during its heyday when Rt 66 was the Mother Road before the Interstate Hwy system made it obsolete. View the Supper Clubs and Cocktail Lounges and unique architecture. Shortly after the 17 mile mark you head South for breakfast at Roberta's in La Verne.
After breakfast take a lovely excursion around Puddingstone Reservoir crossing the dam. From this point it's all a very gradual grade to the end and if you're lucky a bit of a tail wind as well. You will be back to Live Oak park before you know it. |
