HAPPY GAY PRIDE!! This is always a fun ride every year & serves as the ALC area Kickoff Ride! We’ll meet at Townie Bagels at 7:30 am PT, ride out at 8. 19 & 36 mile options, 650′ of climbing. MANY ways to make the route even shorter. After a route review and safety speech, we’ll start in Warm Sands, pass Arenas, and make our way east. We’ll cross Cathedral City and head south, where 19 mile riders will start to return home, while the 36 mile riders will continue down valley to Palm Desert. After hitting our only Pit at Starbucks at 111 & Bob Hope, we’ll make our way back to Palm Springs. A trip up the CVLink will take us to the north end of town before returning back to the start through downtown PS and the festival areas. We’ll have roadies to help and cheer us on! WEAR SOMETHING COLORFUL to celebrate PRIDE!! Come join the fun.
