The WE-Ride for Sunday, January 12 will take our popular Turnbull Canyon route, climbing from Whittier over Turnbull Canyon, stopping for yummy treats at the 85° C Bakery in Hacienda Heights, then climbing south over the hills and winding along the scenic East and West Drives back to Whittier. Starting at Sierra Madre Memorial Park, we head east and south to catch the SGRT below Santa Fe Dam, and cruise down the river to the Whittier Greenway Trail before starting up Turnbull Canyon. At the end of the ride, we head back up the SGRT and the Rio Hondo trails to get back to Sierra Madre.
