Join the Trudging Buddies for a fun, social cruise from West Hollywood to the beach via one of LA’s favorite cycling corridors: Bundy Drive.

We’ll roll out from West Hollywood, make our way west through the city, enjoy the gentle climb up Bundy before the rewarding descent to the Pacific, soak in some ocean views, and cruise back together. Expect a relaxed pace, plenty of regroup points, and supportive teammates every step (and pedal stroke) of the way.

This is a no-drop ride designed to be approachable for riders of all levels. We’ll regroup throughout the ride so no one gets left behind.

Please arrive by 8:00 AM so we can get everyone checked in, go over any ride details, and roll out promptly at 8:30 AM.
