[Foothill Cycle Club: 2185] Cavalcade to the Rose Parade Details


Cavalcade to the Rose Parade Details


I've been receiving questions regarding tomorrow's Rose Parade Ride. Hope this sheds additional light on tomorrow's fun little ride.


Start Location: Alhambra Park, Alhambra. Parking is available on N. Palm Ave. Lots of parking on the west side of the park on N. Palm Ave.


Start Time: We roll out at 7AM. It will be chilly in the mid 40's and into the low 60's by 10 AM.


Ride Description:  As we leave the park, we head north through South Pasadena then to Orange Grove Blvd in Pasadena. We'll visit the floats as they are queued up for the start of the parade, so close that you can almost reach out and touch them. After dismounting the bikes, we'll walk along the side of the floats with great photo ops. The parade starts at 8AM with the fly over of the B2.

When the crowds gets too thick, we'll leave Orange Grove and head East to Panera Bread at Hastings Ranch for breakfast and a chance to warm up. After the break, we head to Sierra Madre Blvd where we will watch the parade that has finally caught up with us.

When we've had our fill of the parade, we'll head back to the start. The return time will depend on when you choose to leave the parade.

Attention: The crowds on Orange Grove will get dense so it's not advised that tricycles participate in this ride. There will be portions of the ride where we dismount and navigate through the crowds.
