Los Angeles: 13 Miles Hosted by the Chain Gang
November 28
@ 8:00 am
Chain Gang Thursday Turkey Burner
13 Miles, Steep hills
Meet: 8:00 AM
Ride-Out: 8:30 AM
Rain Cancels
Join Chain Gang for the Turkey Burner edition of Mel’s famous weekly Thursday morning ride, and start the day with a 13-mile loop through Griffith Park. We meet at the Coffee Bean at Hillhurst and Ambrose, with a special holiday meet time of 8am, and make our way down Los Feliz and through the park on Crystal Springs Drive. After we pass the zoo and travel town, we start to head uphill and keep climbing the switchbacks of Garbage Truck Hill (aka Mount Hollywood Drive). We re-group at the top of the hill, and enjoy a fun downhill with some great picture spots along the way and then tackle the final climb up to the Observatory for another great view and photo spot. A fast and fun downhill takes us down Vermont Canyon past the Greek Theater, and then to Hillhurst back to the start – and a well-deserved post ride coffee or tea
