Exploring Los Angeles on bike....

RoadRunners group ride, L.A. (1st Saturday)

Our rides range from leisurely social outings to challenging, high-intensity adventures and we welcome guests on all our rides. The **Black Folk™ RoadRunners Bike Group** meet every 1st Saturday morning for rides of varying difficulty, starting from various locations in and around the Los Angeles area. We also administer and record Century Challenge rides, where cyclists can test themselves on 100-mile routes. Many of our rides take place on roads and trails less traveled and our calendar also contains special rides and events, highlighted by our signature ride, *The Black Tour*, in late February. This fully supported 24-hour event includes options for Double Century, Triple, and Quad rides. Throughout the year, we challenge cyclists with other featured rides, and our social events help us replenish the calories we burn while riding.

Down the Coast to the Marine Mammal Care Center (all scooters)

SInce it's been a bit warm lately, let's hit the beach and see the sea while checking in on -- and maybe even learning a little thing or two about \-\- the local sea life\! Our route is an easy ride down the coast from Marina del Rey, through the Beach Cities, around/through the Palos Verdes peninsula, to the [Marine Mammal Care Center](https://marinemammalcare.org/). They've been rescuing and rehabilitating seals and sea lions there since 1992. Admission and parking are free (but donations are welcomed). Afterwards, we will continue to lunch at the longstandng (since 1962) San Pedro icon, Sorrento's Pizza House. (They don't have a website; for reference, here's their menu on [Uber Eats](https://www.ubereats.com/store/sorrentos-restaurant/Mq6VHj19TyS0Ok5c0nqyIw) or [Postmates](https://postmates.com/store/sorrentos-restaurant/Mq6VHj19TyS0Ok5c0nqyIw).) There's no minimum engine size, but there are some high-speed sections (45+ mph) and hills (in the Palos Verdes area) so keep that in mind. Tentative Route Map: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zU7EnvvS8x9tj3kTA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zU7EnvvS8x9tj3kTA) Please only RSVP +1 for additional riders, not passengers. \*\*\*\*Please show up with a full tank of gas, as always, and a scooter in good running condition.
