If I can infer from the line under your user name that you are a student/alumni of UCLA, try checking out the cycling club on campus to see what they offer....
http://www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/cycling/home.htm. Even if you dun join the club, you can at least meet other people who live near you, and are interested in road cycling.

Good luck in your search. I'm from the southern california area myself, and would consider riding with you, but then I'm a student at USC....lol

p.s. nice icon
