San Gabriel Valley Thread
My name is Tony. I live in Covina and can't seem to find any good rides or clubs in the San Gabriel Valley. Anyone interested in starting some training/recreational rides or a club? Also, who are you? Where do you ride? Etc. Pics are nice too.

Well, hello there. 
Welcome, Tony. We have lots of pic threads. But as for riding, lots of rides take place here. You should come out and join. What kind of rides are you looking for? Have you heard of SFVBC?

I usually ride in San Gabriel Valley (SG River to Seal Beach, SGV mountains etc), but wouldn't mind visiting for a ride. Let me know when and where. I'm looking for moderate training rides (20-30 mi rides) right now as I'm just getting off winter break. Getting ready for Tour de Palm Springs and Solvang in March.
We can also ride here if you want to visit. The San Gabriel river ride to Seal Beach is about 30 miles from Azusa. Lots of scenery.
Regards,
Tony

Alice,
I joined the Covina club. Not impressed. Showed up to ride. No one showed. Rode by myself. They like riding the moderate to tough mountain rides too much. Not much variety. And the website.....well lets say it leaves a lot to be desired.
Thanks,
Tony

Don't you encourage her!
Alice, darling dear, I KNOW where SGV is and I ride there all the time, as do the SFVBC. Surely, Tony can drive to CSUN if he wants to join the club OR he can join on the various rides we/they do, starting out of Encanto Park. Now, stop using my expression before I have to hurt you (well, find you first...but then I'd hurt you!)
Tony - I've ridden SGRT to Seal Beach and back many times. If you look through the So Cal threads (time consuming, I know) you will see threads on past Beach rides we did last year. There is always an opportunity to ride that and you could even organize a ride and we'd join. Oh, and have you been up GMR?

hello
Since you live in the San Gabriel Valley have you thought of jumping in the Montrose pack ride Sat mornings?

I've done Montrose. It's fun. I plan on joining in again soon. I also train at the Rosebowl alot. The other riders are great motivators.

Love the photo jp. Not much night riding till summer. Thanks for the SFVBC link. I think I will join in one the rides soon. I would like to keep the SGV thread open for just this reason. In order to ride with SFVBC, I have to travel about 50 miles to visit. Which I don't mind, but I want some local rides and riders. Of course you are ALL welcomed to come to this side of town for a ride too.
Alice, I'm hitting the SGR tomorrow morning. Leaving from the dam at 9am. Email me if you're interested. Don't know how far I'm going. Whatever feels good : )

There's a ride that leaves on Saturdays at 7:30am..
Grant Rea Park
600 Rea Dr. Montebello, CA 90640 (Right off Beverly Blvd)
Just to let you know that it's a extremely fast paced group but a great group of riders and we're usually on the SG River...

Keep an eye on this regional forum as rides get planned and posted all the time including Angeles Crest, SGRT, etc. www.sfvbc.org is worth the trip quite often. I still drive out there from Pasadena all the time.
If you're into racing, a new grassroots team www.liquidcycling.com seems to be centralized in Pasadena.
