Monthly Rose Bowl vintage ride

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This month's ride theme will be fenders (mudguards) -- bikes with fenders and bikes without fenders; points for bikes with Bluemels Tour de France shortie fenders. Sub theme will be fixed gear bikes -- path racers, road/track bikes, fixed gear road bikes, track bikes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Starts at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California every FIRST Sunday of the month.

Meet at the pool/picnic area parking lot at the south end of the park at 10:30 am to introduce yourselves, talk bikes and swap parts. Ride will start at 11:00 am sharp.

The ride will be a casual-paced 25 miles long through Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Temple City, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, Altadena, and back to the Rose Bowl for a picnic and more vintage bike talk. The ride is mostly flat with one moderate climb (fixed gears are fine in other words).

Everyone is encouraged to bring and ride a 1985 or earlier bicycle, but feel free to ride anything you have.
