Funny you should mention Chuck's ride, Ted. I believe I met you a couple
years ago when you happened upon the ride and I was on my (now former, a
little too French fit) blue Rambouillet. The Sierra Madre loop I have
developed borrows somewhat from that ride but subtracts some turn and the
climb into Sierra Madre that I favor is longer and more gradual.

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Riv Ride

2024-02-14 Thread Brian Cunningham
Hi all!

With the caveat that I may not be able to make it this Saturday (my
participation may depend on the start time), I have some ideas. If the plan
is to meet up at Allez LA, and the plan is also to be strictly road, I
enjoy riding east on York until it becomes Monterey Road in South Pas east
of the 110, jogging north a block to the bike lane on El Centro, taking it
'til it ends, hanging a quick left and then immediate right on Mission,
which gives you another bike lane and one that passes another Riv-friendly
bike shop The Cub House. If you were to head back south to Monterey after
that and head east you get the sort of smoothly paved roads that only a
tiny and rich city like San Marino can manage. And then from there you can
nearly get to Sierra Madre Blvd, which if you head north on, it will curve
past Pasadena High and eventually lead you into Sierra Madre with a decent
but gradual elevation change. Once you get to Sierra Madre you've got a
good cafe stop at Syndicate. From my place in Glendale this is about a 34
mile round trip with about 1100 ft elevation gain but from Allez I'd guess
closer to 25 miles. This is my default ride when I want to get some road
miles in and the weather is mild enough that the coastal breezes are not a
factor.

If the group wants some non-technical dirt there's always some Griffith
Park fire roads we can do instead. Those turns I know better from visual
memory than I could adequately describe here.

If the group wants to experience the LA River Bike Path, please be aware
that it is closed north of Los Feliz Blvd this month for some repairs.

Whether or not I am able to pedal with y'all this Saturday, happy to mull
it over.

So who's "in charge" here? Happy to help coordinate with 
Houston/Tony/whomever else to get this going.  This Saturday the 17th is 
now clear from rain as Dorothy has mentioned, with March 2nd showing rain 
(yes, quite far out for a forecast, but nevertheless, 5 days is much more 
accurate). Shall we stick with this Saturday?

Looks like the rain forecast for LA and Glendale has moved out a few days. 
I would prefer Feb 17th as I know my son can make that day. March 16th 
would definitely be a no go - I will have family in town from the UK.

I would recommend minimal singletrack to keep this ride as inclusive as 
possible. Not all Riv riders have extra wide tires / experience on dirt. 
(Not speaking for myself, I prefer dirt) Don't wanna scare anyone off! The

Wasn't able to visit AllezLA as they were closed on Tuesday. Will post ride

 I’m sure they’d be happy to host. Plus Collage coffee is down the block.

 Highland Park to South Pas, Rosebowl over to Cherry Canyon, down 
 through the Sports Complex singletrack, ending with a beer and hot dog at 
 Walt’s is never a bad time.

 20-30miles. Bunch of road, bunch of dirt. Flowy, Riv-friendly single 
 track and fire roads.

 Or there’s Mt Washington - Elysian - Griffith. Although less fun.

I'm fine with 30+ miles and fire roads; not so sure about any kind of steep
or technical single-track (not sure what you mean by flowy, Riv-friendly
single-track, P.W.. I've done a limited amount of single-track with my
mountain bike, and I've gotten off and walked on steep, rocky parts, and I
haven't taken my Appaloosa on any of that type of trail. I know the bike
can do it; I'm just not sure I can :)  Overall, though, the path and plan
you suggest sounds fun, P.W.!

How early is early? I'm an early riser, and I have to drive in from South
Orange County. Google says it will take me 1:30 hours to get to Allez.

Hi all, 
I'd like to join an LA Riv Ride. I'm on the westside, near Keith P. but I 
could bike, metro or drive to a starting point further east.
Looks like things are trending toward the 17th. I unfortunately can't make 
it that day—enjoy the ride. 
If there's a pivot to the 11th/12th I could ride. Or maybe see some of you 
at the crash the marathon ride March 16?

Just wondering what the fitness, technical ability, and comfort level of 
people are. While I've never taken my bike on single track, I love to try 
out some flowy curves and fire roadsand I'm quite happy to do 30+ miles 
on mixed terrain, especially if we get an early start. I'm super flexible.

How are others feeling? I'd rather defer to the group, in favor of getting 
more people to attend. The more, the merrier, IMO.


@Armand - Glad to hear that you'll be visiting Allez. Perhaps you can let 
us know if any good ideas or routes come up when you chat with Kyle. I 
think it would be great if we kept the ride on this side of town. I can't 
speak for others, but I'd welcome a future ride on the west side.

@Phil - Great idea for a route; you've got my vote! I know Ted had 
mentioned Cherry Canyon. Sign me up for flowy single track and a beer 
anyday!

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Riv Ride

2024-01-07 Thread Armand Kizirian
Safe to say a Riv is not required to join the ride. I will definitely be 
inviting a few people who would thoroughly appreciate being surrounded by 
Rivendells, despite not owning one. 

Tony, I used to organize routes/rides/tours for small and large groups. I'm 
in Santa Monica so I'm not as familiar with great places to ride on the 
east side. I think a jaunt through frogtown/la river/griffith park could be 
great. I'll be going to Glendale tomorrow and can stop by Allez LA and pick 
their brain some, especially if Kyle is there. 

What kind of mileage are you thinking? Is this a morning meetup ride? 

Let's doo this. Good incentive for me to finish my Playtpus by then too 
:).

Oh, so cool to see this happening! I’ve been mostly lurking here; got my 
Appaloosa last August and I ride it in Orange County. I’d love to join a

Question: How long/demanding will the ride be? I’m usually a solo rider and

Hey folks,
Anybody free for an early February meet up and ride? Ted D. is in town 
during the week of the 12th, so this seems like a great opportunity for a 
fun, super causal ride.

Sunday the 11th 
Monday the 12th (state holiday)
Saturday the 17th

What do you think?

 Hi everyone,

 I'm looking forward to seeing y'all this Saturday at Griffith for
 our LA Riv meet-up! All riders are welcome, Riv bike owners or not.
 Originally, the meet-up was for 8 AM, but I want to push it back an 
 hour to
 start in some warmer weather. If anyone isn't cool with this, we can 
 always
 go back to the og time, just LMK.

 *As a reminder, here are the details:*

 When: 9 AM
 Where: Franklin's Cafe across from the Greek at 2650 N Vermont
 Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027
 
 Route: Loop around Vista del Valle to the Observatory around 10 mi
 with 1k ft. of climbing

 Optional Extras: If people want, we can throw in a pie stop at
 House of Pies after the Observatory &/or add on the Hollywood Sign 
 climb
 for folks who want to do some more climbing!

 Hi y'all,

 Thank you for all of your feedback/responses! It's looking like
 May 27th has the highest level of availability! We can always

 specifics closer to the date, but for now let's keep the 
 morning/afternoon
 of the 27th open. As a tentative plan, let's meet at Franklin's

 Isaac and Matt, I'm gonna try to make it out to the Cub House

 So excited to meet everyone!

 The swap
 is really good too because sellers usually have interesting or

Most definitely down for a ride next month. Would be in favor of benefiting 
from some cooler coastal weather because I’m sure this mild weather will 
not last into July. 

Last time was great fun. Thanks for putting it together, Houston, and 
thanks for documenting!

Super fun!
A good pile of Rivs. A number of other cool bikes. Even two e-bikes.
Great conversation, everyone was super positive. Total type 1 fun.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking forward to seeing y'all this Saturday at Griffith for our LA 
Riv meet-up! All riders are welcome, Riv bike owners or not. Originally, 
the meet-up was for 8 AM, but I want to push it back an hour to start in 
some warmer weather. If anyone isn't cool with this, we can always go back 
to the og time, just LMK.

*As a reminder, here are the details:*

When: 9 AM 
Where: Franklin's Cafe across from the Greek at 2650 N Vermont Ave, Los 
Angeles, CA 90027
Route: Loop around Vista del Valle to the Observatory around 10 mi with 1k 
ft. of climbing

Optional Extras: If people want, we can throw in a pie stop at House of 
Pies after the Observatory &/or add on the Hollywood Sign climb for folks 
who want to do some more climbing!

 Hi y'all,

 Thank you for all of your feedback/responses! It's looking like May 
 27th has the highest level of availability! We can always adjust specifics 
 closer to the date, but for now let's keep the morning/afternoon of the 
 27th open. As a tentative plan, let's meet at Franklin's Cafe across from 
 the Greek at 8 am. 

 Isaac and Matt, I'm gonna try to make it out to the Cub House that 
 weekend...it looks so sick! 

 So excited to meet everyone!

 The Mt. Hollywood route is definitely a climb but it has some great 
 payoff! I usually just take a break or two on my way up.

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Riv Ride

2023-04-26 Thread Bryce Dwyer
Hi all –– Atlantis rider in the Pomona Valley here. I could likely make the 
20th or the 27th, with a preference for the 27th.

Tony: I think that was my Atlantis you saw! I'd guess that was your parked 
orange Riv at the Palomares Adobe that I saw too. What a coincidence!

The Mt. Hollywood route is definitely a climb but it has some great payoff! 
I usually just take a break or two on my way up.

Haven't browsed this forum in a few years, but decided to check in because I wanted to go on a group ride. Oddly enough, I saw a parked Atlantis at the 626 Golden Streets event yesterday. Seems like the perfect time to meet up with some other folks, especially since some of the newer Rivs look drastically different.Cheers,TonyOn Monday, April 24, 2023 at 11:08:22 AM UTC-7 bunny...@gmail.com wrote:Hey all!I will be out of the country for about two weeks in MAY, but would love to join if I am in town.

Regardless, it'd be a chill pace with a cafe stop or two thrown in. I don't think I'm going to make it out that way in May. In fact, my LA daughter is planning to come here for a week. I'll watch the thread with interest, though. As for the route ... I can't imagine Griffith Park/Hollywood Sign being a very "chill" ride - that's a lot of climbing! But it's beautiful and fun.Ted DurantMilwaukee, WI (and occasionally Alhambra, CA)
