Chain Gang: Kathy’s Time To Climb!
74 Miles, Long and steep hills
Meet: 7:30 AM
Ride-Out: 8:00 AM
Rain Cancels
It’s Time To Climb, and not just for Kathy – join Chain Gang for a tour of our favorite hills, in a whole new configuration and with a little extra climbing thrown in just for fun! Starting our usual base from Merry Go Round Lot 3, we make our way through the park to Riverside, along Sonora and Glenoaks to our first water stop in Sunland and our first climb of the day, La Tuna Canyon! The long descent takes us into Montrose for our pitstop at Coffee Bean.
From there, we are switching things up – descending Descanso, climbing Chevy Chase and Figueroa, then descending Lida (a nice change from climbing it!) towards the Rose Bowl. We follow our usual route through South Pas to our next stop at Einstein Bagels on Lake and California, and we will need all the carbs we eat there because we are about to head uphill again!
Just past CalTech, we were planning to climb Lake Avenue all the way into Altadena but the fires had other plans, so we will be heading East instead for a loop through San Marino, Arcadia, Temple City and back to South Pasadena. We make our way back to the Rose Bowl and now climb up Lida, with an extra loop down the other side and back up Chevy Chase before heading back to Descanso and another pitstop at Starbucks just before Montrose. From there, it’s all downhill again as we follow our route back through Glendale, down Sonora and Riverside into the park and back to our meeting point.
