Glendale History Bike Tour Photos

My photos from yesterday's Glendale History Bike Tour are up on flickr.  I'll write a longer post about it soon, but in short, the ride went very well and was really, really fun.



Here's how much fun Vince, Jen and Evan had:

Glendale History Ride TOMORROW, 4/18

Just a reminder that the Glendale History Bike Ride is TOMORROW, April 18th. Meet at 9:30am at the Glendale Transit Center, 400 Cerritos Avenue, and join us for a fun ride. The total mileage will be close to 15 miles, and is all pretty flat except for a few uphill blocks to Brand Park.

Glendale History Bike Ride, April 18th


Yep, a history themed, city-sponsored Glendale community bike ride. How awesome is that? I'm helping put it together with Colin Bogart of the LA County Bicycle Coalition. Docents from the Glendale Historical Society will also be involved to help provide information.

Definite stops include the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, Grand Central Air Terminal, Brand Park, and The Alex. Casa Adobe De San Rafael and a lunch break at Porto's are likely stops as well. We will be swinging by Glendale's recycling center, where the city will be giving away a bike. It'll be a fun day.

Saturday, April 18th.

Meet at the Glendale Transportation Center (the old Southern Pacific Rail Depot) at 9:30am. The ride leaves at 10am. The route will be 12-13 miles at a slow to moderate pace with numerous stops. Helmets are required. Rain cancels.

I put the flyer together using an old postcard of downtown Glendale and a awesome creative commons licensed photo of bicyclists by Ben Ostrowsky.
