Event details and schedule

Your participation helps the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) continue to make all of communities in L.A. County healthy, safe, and fun places to ride a bike. Additionally, your ride makes a difference in our Greenway 2020 campaign to complete all 51 miles of L.A. River Bike Path by the year 2020.  

The course is mainly flat as it runs along the river bed. See the River's natural flora and fauna and beautiful River side parks all along the way. The ride also takes you through historic L.A. neighborhoods.
