Reprise of the Return of the West Pasadena Night Ride

The most FUN way to beat the heat is a night ride! Join the lit-up crew as we explore iconic locations and undiscovered neighborhoods in Pasadena under the stars! End your evening with tater tots at Dog Haus (and the beverage of your choice)!

Saturday, July 26th: Third Annual Night Ride in West Pasadena

The ride will be 9.2 miles with 422 feet of elevation gain, including a couple of steep uphills (it’s fine to walk your bike for those parts) and a trip across the Colorado Street Bridge. If this sounds familiar, we've done this route for a couple of years now. Because everyone loves going across the bridge!

This is NOT a ride for beginners! Night rides are crowded and although no one is ever left behind, remember that there are a couple of steep uphills and we'll be riding for at least 90 minutes. If you haven't been on a bike for a while, we recommend our Beginners' Bagel Rides - the next one is Sunday, July 13 at 9 am.

Please note you MUST sign a waiver when you arrive. Helmets are required by state law for anyone under 18. No training wheels permitted. Children riding on their own should remain with parents at all times, have experience riding with a group, and be able to average 12 mph. Younger children and/or pets are welcome so long as they are riding safely in a trailer, on a family cargo bike, etc.
