Westside/San Vicente and Ocean
SANTA MONICA UPS-N-DOWNS
37.0 Miles 2C Rating
This little "GUTBUSTER" starts from Ocean Ave & San Vicente in the title town. It may beonly 37.0 miles, but it is a challenge. Trust me. Fifty-five turns tax your mental strength andability, while the endless hills erode your physical stamina. Get a bunch of your studly buddies

Starting from the Santa Anita Race Track, you'll cruise northern Orange County, and then romp the 13.5 miles up the San Gabriel River Bike Trail, with the wind at your back, all the way to Arcadia. What a great way to get in your miles!
