Rose Bowl Loop
Anyone know on what days there are group rides at the Rose Bowl?
Also, a meet up time would be helpful.
Thanks.

There's a peleton that rides there every Tuesday and Thursday. I believe they start at 5pm. Hopefully someone that actually rides it will respond. I get out too late from work to join so I only get the tail-end of the ride.

Well, FWIW, technically, it starts at 5:55 from Lot K (south end of Bowl) but goes slow enough for the first 5-10 mins, you could probably catch on easy.
It's not just any ol' group ride, either. This is a fast-paced, hard, training ride. Don't worry too much about your speed, though they do average 26+ mph for the 31-miles (10 laps). You can always sit out a lap & catch back on if dropped. But, don't attempt it unless you're very comfortable in fast moving packs.
There are lots of other cyclists that regularly ride at the Bowl, though I'm not privy to the details.

Thanks for the details. I have heard that it's a pretty flat out fast kind of ride. Looking forward to giving it a shot soon. Take care.
