A note on the Long Beach start/finish: We’re sad to say that we will not have a Long Beach start/finish in 2016. Unfortunately, due to proposed construction at the Aquarium of the Pacific, we are not able to use that space this year. We still secured Shoreline Park for a pit stop in Long Beach, but it’s not big enough to host a start/finish. Hopefully, we’ll be able to bring back the Long Beach start/finish in 2017. We apologize for the inconvenience, as we know many of our riders coming from Long Beach and surrounding areas enjoyed this start location.
Learn more about the L.A. River Ride and register at la-bike.org/riverride.
Thank you to this year’s L.A. River Ride sponsors:
