JOIN US SUNDAY MARCH 15TH !!

This Long time Classic PAA CSR's TOUR DE ACTON is sure to delight all those looking for a real challenging adventure they will always remember conquering!

Welcome, This route is one of my favorites!

Join your fellow PAA riders and friends for a big, challenging loop along some of the most beautiful roads in the Angeles National Forest.

Back by popular demand the route will be a tough, but rewarding day in the saddle.  We will climb up to Clear Creek from Descanso, then head out along Angeles Forest Hwy. passing the Ranger Station SAG STOP. before Upper Big Tujunga Turnoff.  

We then continue along Angeles Forest Highway to Mill Creek Summit. SAG STOP.

THIS IS A TURN AROUND POINT FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO.  

Once over the summit, we head down Aliso Canyon to Soledad canyon Rd. and back to Sand Canyon,  SAG STOP
MOST OF THIS SECTION IS DOWNHILL (see Strava course profile).  

After the turn South onto Sand Canyon there are two short climbs, one to Bear Divide and the second to the top of Big Tujunga.  Then its downhill again one fun descent to Foothill where our a SAG STOP  will be.  We then return along Foothhill to Freedom Park LUNCH STOP, where there is the last climb of the day. Once there we will have our well deserved lunch.  **SEE THE RIDE SECTOR DETAILS BELOW

For those wanting to do less miles and climbing you can skip the big loop and turn around at any point PARTICULARLY MILL CREEK SUMMIT,
