Down Venice Blvd. to downtown LA. Up Figueroa and over through Montecito Heights. Through San Marino, then continue to Baldwin Avenue and up the hill past the race track to Sierra Madre. Back along Orange Grove and Colorado Blvds and into the San Fernando Valley. Take a lunch break at Golden Road Brewery, then through the Valley on our usual route along Riverside Drive to Sherman Oaks, then up and over Sepulveda Pass to the Westside. Except for Sepulveda, a flat 74 miles. The shorter route returns from DTLA on Sunset.
