The Rose Bowl Vintage Ride and the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl game are never held on the same day. The Vintage Ride is always held on a Sunday and the Rose Parade is never held on a Sunday.
From the Pasadena Star-News:
"Thou shalt not hold the Rose Parade on a Sunday.
Thus spake Tournament of Roses officials in 1893, the first time New Year’s Day fell on the Lord’s Day. That year, organizers decided to move the New Year’s festivities to Jan. 2 in order to avoid frightening horses tied outside local churches and disrupting worship services.
In keeping with this tradition, the 134th Rose Parade and 109th Rose Bowl game will be held on Monday, Jan. 2, 2023."
The weather forecast is 64 degrees and glorious! Hope to see you all there in the New Year!

I'm torn... There is a new year self supported century starting at Belmont shore in Long Beach which i was going to participate in, I think I'll do a 123 miles to mark the date. Have fun out there guys and gals, get the new year started off in the right gear
and may all your return home routes be full of tail winds.
