Christmas Day Bike Ride from NoHo Metro Station to Woodland Hills and back

Christmas Day Bike Ride from NoHo Metro Station to Woodland Hills and back

Join us on Christmas Day if you'd like to spend the morning or the whole day with your cycling friends for a bike ride, lunch and a optional movie afterward.

You can join us for the whole excursion or for any part of it:

Part 1 - bike ride from the North Hollywood Metro Station to the end of the Orange Line bikeway for lunch (about 1 1/2 hours);

Part 2 - lunch at Weiler's Deli (about 1 hour); ride back on your bike or on the Orange line bus.

Part 3 - see a movie after the bike ride - movie title to be determined.

Whatever you want to do is fine - everything is completely flexible. You might want a morning bike ride to burn a few calories before your Christmas dinner later in the day!

The bicycle ride is from the North Hollywood Metro Station to Woodland Hills and back. The ride is very pleasant and is suitable for all levels from beginner to advanced. Please join us!

MEETING TIME IS 10:00 AM

Please arrive early to get ready for the ride. We will meet outside the entrance to the North Hollywood Metro Station.

We will depart promptly at 10:30 AM.

You can either travel to the North Hollywood Metro Station starting point on your bicycle or by driving your car. There is free parking at the North Hollywood Metro Station. If you arrive by Metro, the North Hollywood Metro Station is at the north end of the Red Line. Please allow at least one hour or more for the Metro ride to the North Hollywood station because you never know how long it will take to get there from your starting destination.

We will ride along the Orange Line bikeway which is flat. We won't set any speed records and will likely be traveling around 10 to 15 miles per hour.
