Central Park: Beginner Ride Route

Location:	Corner of Fair Oaks Ave. and Del Mar Bvld., Pasadena
Directions to Start:	From the San Fernando Valley, take the Fair Oaks Blvd. off-ramp off the 134 Freeway in Pasadena; turn right on Fair Oaks Ave.; just before Del Mar Bvld. (about 0.4 miles) the driveway is on your left (it may not look like that's the driveway for the park, but it is). From the San Gabriel Valley, take the Fair Oaks Blvd. off-ramp off the 210 Freeway in Pasadena; go South on Fair Oaks Ave.; just before Del Mar Bvld. (about 0.4 miles) the driveway is on your left (it may not look like that's the driveway for the park, but it is).
Ride Description:	A nice tour of the city of the Tournament of Roses. After passing through Old Town, we venture into the Arroyo Seco for a loop around the Rose Bowl. Then its up to the La Canada/Flintridge area, where we'll regroup at Descanso Gardens. From there, we make our way down through some very posh homes high above the Rose Bowl. After another loop around the perimeter of the Rose Bowl, we head back to the cars. There is a moderate amount of climbing on this route, although most of the hills are relatively short...one short hill is very steep. But, to balance the climbs, you get some fun downhills to even things out.
Distance:	29.8 miles
