Native Plants Gardens Bike Ride

Join us for a bike ride that's all about spring and the beauty of California's native plants! We'll visit a number of private homes in northwest and central-west Pasadena where the front yards feature native landscaping, plus a couple of public parks.

Meet at Villa Park, 323 E. Villa Street, in Pasadena. You must sign a waiver when you arrive.

The route is approximately 13 miles with about 585 feet of elevation. All but one of the climbs will be relatively gentle but this might not be the best choice for your first ride after a long break. This is a family-friendly event. Kids are welcome as long as they can ride a bike without training wheels and maintain a social pace around 10 MPH. No one will be dropped.

This event is free for participants, but if you'd like to join us for a picnic, please bring a bag lunch. RSVP's are required as we need a good head-count and space is limited. All participants should bring a bike in good working order (e-bikes are welcome). There will be a mechanic on the ride.
