What does everyone think about a ride from Los Feliz/Hollywood/Silverlake area down to ELACC. I rode from Los Feliz down there to check out what kinda ride it would be, and it was kinda nice. One straight shot down Sunset and it becomes Cesar Chavez which takes you right there. After hanging out there for a bit we can head back down the same route or a different route to spice it up.
The ride does need a bit more spice than that, so SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!

well you have step one pretty much on lock. the Sunset route seems fun and the street is big enough. where would you like to start from? I agree that the route back could use some other route besides sunset...

I was thinking of starting at the corner of Western and Los Feliz at Griffith Park, or start at Echo Park and just make it a round trip from Echo Park to ELACC and back. I've mapped out a return route. The route I've mapped has us passing by a couple of cemetaries... SPOOKY.

How about stopping ? ending? Resting?
