So. Calif. -- Two New Century Rides

NEW CENTURY RIDES
Registration is now open on Active.com for two new Century bike rides.

SUNDAY, APRIL 17. ANNIVERSARY CENTURIES
The Los Angeles Wheelmen celebrate the Club's 60th Anniversary with an
unusual in-town Century and Half Century. Start from Beverly Hills,
tour downtown Los Angeles on the easiest-traffic day of the week, then
ride into the San Gabriel Valley for lunch. Half Century returns
after lunch, while Century continues through the San Fernando Valley
before coming back to Beverly Hills, where dessert will be waiting.
Here's a chance to view the city scenery, old and new, close up
instead of from a freeway.

SUNDAY, MAY 15. PEDDLIN' WITH THE POPPIES
Bicycle John's Bike Shop sponsors this "First Annual" ride destined to
be a favorite. It shows you the unspoiled and lightly-populated
countryside in the foothills on the eastern edge of the Antelope
Valley. Start at Bicycle John's shop in Acton and ride the full
Century out to Three Points and back, or a Metric Century to Elizabeth
Lake and back. Both routes feature the clean air and country roads of
a very scenic area, famous for its California Poppy fields. A
barbeque lunch will be waiting for all back in Acton.
