2024 Rides and Events

All Sunday rides, except out-of-town rides, leave from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, 13420 Maxella Ave, Villa Marina Marketplace.  Most people ride to the start, but some drive and park on nearby streets.

Sunday departure time is 8:00 am, except for out-of-town rides. Please be ready to roll at the departure time!

Your bike should be in good working condition and you should be prepared to fix a flat (i.e., have spare tube, tire levers, patches, pump or CO2 inflator, etc.).  You should also carry a water bottle (two in warm weather), snacks, and lunch money. Helmets are required at all times, and no headsets or earbuds, please!

This schedule is always subject to change.  As a convenience to riders, it may include  mention of and links to other organized rides that some of us participate in, but these are not “official” or “out-of-town” MDRCC rides.

Please, no E-Bikes.  This group is somewhat traditional and part of the reason people ride with us is for the fitness it brings under their own power.

IMPORTANT RIDE CAVEAT – Riding on public roads with motor and pedestrian traffic, road hazards, and other cyclists is inherently dangerous and because of this, accidents and serious injuries might occur. By riding with MDRCC, you acknowledge and accept these risks and release MDRCC and all others involved from any and all liability.

    Stradella - New Topanga

    8:00 amTrek Bike Store - Marina Del Rey

    Up Sepulveda to Moraga and then wind our way through scenic Bel Air, past a few way-to-big monstrosities, then up the steps of Stradella to Mulholland Drive. The short ride returns to the Westside via Sepulveda. The long ride continues on Mulholland over the San Diego Fwy to Encino Hills Drive for a steep descent into the Valley. From Hayvenhurst, continue to wind our way over the (not-so) secret commuter route to Valley Vista, Wells, and Dumetz, to Topanga Canyon. Take a break at the Starbucks, and then climb New Topanga over and down to PCH. The short route is 30 hilly miles. The long route is 48 miles with more hills and 3700 feet of climbing. There are a few steep sections.

    Here is the route to help you from getting too lost:
