Join the Chain Gang for a nice day of climbing, and some pretty views on our way up Chevy Chase and Lida! Rest assured that we will work with you on how to climb and descend hills safely, with proper shifting techniques. No One Gets Left Behind!
We’ll start in Griffith Park and go for a short spin around the studios and through Glendale before making our way up Chevy Chase. After a fun downhill along Berkshire/Highland, we tackle another shorter climb up Lida past the Art Center, with a short twisty downhill back to Chevy Chase where we tackle the upper part of the climb for the second time. From the top, we make our way past Descanso Gardens into Montrose for our pit stop at the Coffee Bean before heading back to Griffith Park with a nice long descent along Glenoaks. We are friendly, fun and ALL skill levels are welcome. NO RIDER WILL EVER BE LEFT BEHIND. EVERYONE is welcome and encouraged to join The Chain Gang for this scenic and fun bike ride!
