Thanks to sponsorship by Metro, and led by C.I.C.L.E., with the Culver-City based organization Walk 'n Rollers, a summer ride along the mural-speckled Ballona Creek Bike Path to the sea on Sat. June 29 at 10:30 a.m.

The path is a fully protected bicycle path making it an ideal opportunity to ride a longer distance without cars whizzing by or the congestion of CicLAvia. The ride will make stops at Overland and Centinela avenues to learn about the Creek and the watershed. These stops will also serve as alternative starting points for participants who would like a shorter ride, arriving at 11:20am and 11:45 a.m. respectively.

Participants will learn about points of interest to explore when we reach the shore and will be given one hour to spend at the beach for lunch, a picnic, or to take a dip in the water. We encourage cyclists to pack up their bike baskets with food, sunscreen, beach gear and water. As with all C.I.C.L.E. rides, this ride is family-friendly, leisurely paced and will return to the starting point. C.I.C.L.E. rides are fully supported, led by trained Ride Leaders and volunteers. This ride is approximately 14 miles with alternative starting points for shorter route options.

"We love hosting community rides," said Walk 'n Roll founder, Jim Shanman. "Group rides demonstrate how easy and fun cycling in your community can be. With the added support of a group, riders develop confidence and have more fun than trying to explore the route on their own." When: Sat. June 29

Time: Meet at 10:30 am, ride leaves promptly at 11:00 am

The ride will return to the starting point by 2pm

Alternative starting point at Overland Avenue at Ballona Creek Bike Path: 11:20 a.m. Alternative starting point at Centinela Avene at Ballona Creek Bike Path: 11:45 a.m.
