Ride to Palos Verdes

There's no telling the National or State champion or Olympian who might be on your left or right. We can only assure you the All Clubs Gala Weekend brings them out!

Plus - you could win a premium Strava gift bag (one winner per ride who uploads their activity on Strava. Winner selected by Strava)

Group A will roll 2 X 2 at a tempo pace (read: "steady".)

Climbing 4,000 feet over a 50-mile distance is no small feat. If you're ready to tackle multiple short, steep ascents over the course of three hours, this ride is perfect for you. As you traverse the stunning landscapes of Palos Verdes, you'll be in for a truly rewarding experience..

No drop! Several regroups!

Friday B-Group Route

Group B will roll 2 X 2 at a moderate pace.

The route calls for 31 miles and 1730 ft of elevation but the sites you'll earn will make you happy you did it.

Friday C-Group Route

Group C will roll 2 X 2 at a 16-18 mph pace.

A 28-miler with 1050 ft of elevation and trip around the PV golf course famous for seeing the resident peacocks.

The Korean Bell for Friendship - The Meeting at the Mountaintop!

The All Clubs Gala Weekend's most important ride. On this excursion the peloton stretches minutes from front to back. Last year we were interrupted by the weather but we pray there are no such issues this time.

You may ask "why does this ride resonate so strongly and attract so many?"

I call it the meeting at the mountaintop because it is my personal "we have a dream" statement to the world: We are stronger together than a part!

This ride is not about the speed or distance. It is "no drop" cruise and our symbolic gesture of love and friendship.
