Richard's Chantry Flat Challenge - 25 miles

Ride Rating: advanced for climbing

Start: Lacy Park, San Marino

Ride Description: A beautiful 25 mile ride to Chantry Flat Rec Area. The ride starts from Lacy Park in San Marino. We traverse through San Marino and Arcadia. There is a mild climb up Highland Oaks Drive to warm-up the legs. The first regroup is at the Arno Drive cul-de-sac near the entry gate to Chantry Flat Road. From there it's a short but challenging 3-mile climb (up to 10+% peak) to the pack station and a bit steeper if you go all the way to the helipad (12% peak). Then it's time to rest and take in the wooded scenery, maybe even grab a bite at the rustic Adams Pack Station. Afterwards, there is a breath-taking descent.

Two Saturday Rides 8 AM start

We are reintroducing a FCC tradition. The last Saturday of each month will be Jersey Day. If you have a FCC jersey (of any style) now is the time to wear it!! With both the Fun Ride and Standard ride starting from the same location, just think of the photo op!!

Loopy Mondays! 

Start Location: Rose Bowl, Lot K entrance

Ride Description; Stunning mountain views are the backdrop to our ride around the green links of the Brookside golf course and Rose Bowl.   This is a fairly level, 3 mile loop with zero traffic lights (albeit a random slow down for golf cart crossing).  Plug in your music playlist or favorite podcast and get into the zone while building endurance and speed, with the emphasis on riding at your own pace.

Break time is 10 AM at the Brookside Restaurant where we can meet for coffee and snacks indoors or just hang outside. Ice cold filtered water station a bonus.   Afterwards we carry on, riders peeling off independently when enough is enough! This is an opportunity to ride with the club on a flat, well paved surface for fun or training for the next big ride.

Tuesday morning ride, 24 miles: 8 AM start

It then crosses Altadena before dropping down to Sierra Madre for coffee and a bite to eat. Returning to the start is mostly flat and downhill. This ride features the Rose Bowl, Brookside Golf Course, JPL and Caltech, among others.
