[Foothill Cycle Club: 2713] Re: Seal Beach Loop 46 miles / 715' Gain - START TIME CHANGE TO 7:00 AM
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. The number of ride miles is up to you. Do as few or as many as you wish or have time for. The ride starts at 8 AM, but you can join us a bit later if necessary as we’ll be looping at regular intervals. 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 time (Contact Dennis Quade at dennisquade@rocketmail.com) South Pasadena to Sierra Madre for a cup of Java Start Location: The ride will start at the parking lot at Mound and El Centro Ride Description; This ride follows the beautiful and historic Arroyo Seco, first to the Rose Bowl and then climbing to the Pasadena highlands. The ride continues heading east, crossing Altadena before dropping down to Nanos restaurant in Sierra Madre for a break at mile 15. The return is mostly a combination of flat and downhill runs. You’ll see historic architectural homes and buildings, the Rose Bowl and the adjacent Brookside Golf Course, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Altadena’s burn areas and the California Institute of Technology, among others. Thursday Ride; Thursday's Therapy - A new ride!

This ~19 mile ride starts from Memorial Park in Sierra Madre, and climbs through Sierra Madre and Arcadia. The ride provides for a full warm-up prior to the Chantry climb. We will regroup along the way in an attempt to ensure no one is dropped. [Please keep in mind that this an advanced-level ride, as such, the regroup stops will not be lengthy en-route.] The longest regroup will likely happen at the Chantry Pack Store. The ride ends where it starts. Folks can choose one of the many nearby spots to hang-out, grab a coffee, snack or lunch.
