Note:  You must register in advance for this ride- registration closes at noon on Thursday before the ride (this is one day earlier than usual).  There is no late registration or day-of-event registration.  You must be a member of both PCH Randonneurs and RUSA in order to register.  

This ride has a mix of scenery- the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley, Griffith Park, Northeast L.A., the Rio Hondo and Lario trails down to Long Beach, and the San Gabriel Trail back to the start.  This route is the Day 2 route of the Rosemead Loopy 600k, which will be happening on the same weekend.  It is a bit longer than 200k, but because it is a RUSA-sanctioned brevet, you will get extra time for the extra distance.

The ride has about 3800 feet of climbing, almost all of it early in the ride. 

This is a minimally-supported ride.  Riders are responsible for obtaining their own food and water out on the course.  There is no SAG vehicle.
