The fourth ride in our Resilience Ride training series takes us on a tried and true East Side route. After leaving Griffith Park, we ride through Glendale to Chevy Chase Dr. for our main climb of the day. We then descend and pass through Altadena (just south of the areas affected by the Eaton Fire) to Sierra Madre. After a coffee break, we return to Griffith Park via Pasadena and Eagle Rock. If you have cycling experience but haven't ridden much since ALC, this is a great route to get back in the saddle, and if you're a beginner who's done our other September rides, you'll be well prepared for this one.
