ride to the CicLAvia together to get there in about 1/2 hour
Route Slip 22.1 miles, +746 ft CF3 (23.8’/m)
Ride withGPS Map / profile
4 1/2 miles from the train station to the CicLAvia - route follows interstate USBR 66 most of the way, but this is in LA road conditions.
We will keep the pace to stay together and be most visible in traffic.
The green line is the CicLAvia, The red line is our on street route. The pink highlighted line is USBR 66
The CicLAvia
Streets closed 9 to 4
Just over 13 miles of street party, fun, distractions and dismounting as needed… It will be hard to enjoy it all & get back for the 2pm train…everyone is on their own to scatter or stay together in the crowd, just don’t miss the last train out at 4:27: Plan to get lined up to board that last train by 4 as it could be very full !
Alternate Route Back to train
Route Slip 22 miles, +708 ft CF3 (32.2’/m) (Less CicLAvia and more USBR 66)
Ride withGPS Map / profile
Faster return on USBR 66
Instead of doing all of the CicLAvia both: May be faster - but local traffic may be worse due to the closures…
The green line is the CicLAvia, The red line is our on street route.
The pink highlighted line is USBR 66. The blue line is the on-street alternate way back if you are worried about missing the train or want to catch the 2pm train.
