Chain Gang Loops From Rose Bowl To The River, Via Bagels
43 Miles, Rolling hills and a some climbs
Meet: 8:00 AM
Ride-Out: 8:30 AM
Rain Cancels
Join the Chain Gang for a lovely loop through Pasadena, Arcadia and beyond, all the way to the river in Duarte and back. We meet at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center and head out into beautiful South Pasadena, through the quiet wide streets of San Marino and Arcadia with a delicious pit stop at Goldstein’s Bagels. We continue all the way Duarte with a loop up the San Gabriel River bike path and back to our turn around point at Encanto Park (water and bathrooms available).
On the way back, we pass through several San Gabriel Valley cities as we continue our big loop back to the Rose Bowl. With only a few rolling hills, this ride is fairly flat and a fun and picturesque way to test your endurance. We will have plenty of TRLs to support you!
Our meeting spot is in Parking Lot I, close to the Aquatic Center – lots of other cyclists also ride from this area, so make sure you look for our ALC ride leaders in bright orange vests!

All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!
