The southern route down to the Malaga Cove Plaza, continue on PV West with side route on Paseo Del Mar and then on to PV South and then up PV East and the switchbacks. The usual Extra Credit for doing the domes on Crest (or Extra Rest for not doing!), and continue to PV North and back to Klatch Coffee in Redondo Beach. People wanting a shorter route can do the golf course (Via Campesina) and return.

Over Sepulveda to Burbank Boulevard, Victory, and up DeSoto to Devonshire. If people are willing, add in Santa Susanna and Box Canyon. Or maybe just skip Chatsworth altogether and head to Topanga. Otherwise, around the Reservoir and stop for a break at Pedaler’s Fork in Calabasas. Return over Old Topanga Canyon to PCH. Moderately hilly 61 miles. Short route can return from the top of Sepulveda.

A new tour of the Westside canyons that incorporates a number of our members favorite climbs for a total of 46 hilly miles. Ride up Ocean Ave to San Vicente and jog up to Bundy with the climb to Mt. St. Mary's. Return to Sunset and climb up Homewood, back down to Sunset and round trip on Mandeville. Return to San Vicente and ride to a round trip up and down Amalfi before returning to MDR. A new variation for Mandeville is, on the way up, to turn left at Westridge, go to the top of it, and then back down to Mandeville via Banyon and Arbutus for the rest of that climb. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Zip up PCH to Trancas with the usual break in Malibu. We are now stopping at Malibu Bluffs Park at the top of the hill. The short ride turns around here (or back at Malibu). The long ride proceeds a few miles more to Encinal Canyon. A scenic climb up Encinal brings us to a choice of Mulholland or Upper Encinal to take us over to Kanan Dume for the long and fast descent back to the coast and optional snack break before returning on PCH. The short ride is about 45 miles; the long ride is about 65 miles with a fair amount of climbing. Encinal Canyon is about five miles but never too steep. There is also some more climbing to get to Kanan Dume.

Cruise through Beverly Hills to Benedict Canyon, and climb up to Mulholland. Turn west to Sepulveda for 30 slightly hilly miles (short ride), or head east on Mulholland to Griffith Park for 57 moderately hilly miles. Optional jaunts to the Observatory and/or stop at Pricilla's in Toluca Lake for a coffee and snack break and then head back via Riverside, Valley Vista, and Sepulveda.

Through Playa Del Rey, Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beaches to Palos Verdes. From Malaga Cove, climb to the crest of the peninsula via Via Del Monte, Monte Malaga, Silver Spur, and Crenshaw. Throw in Whitley Collins for fun. Back down Hawthorne and around PV Drive West, and a first scenic detour for Paseo Del Mar and then back for a second scenic detour via Via Coronel through the PV foothills in search of peacocks. Back down Via Del Monte and snack at Klatch Coffee (PCH and Torrance) A relatively hilly 54 miles with an annoyingly steep section on Silver Spur (and a short steep section on Whitley Collins!).

Up Sepulveda to Moraga and then wind our way through scenic Bel Air, past a few way-to-big monstrosities, then up the steps of Stradella to Mulholland Drive. The short ride returns to the Westside via Sepulveda. The long ride continues on Mulholland over the San Diego Fwy to Encino Hills Drive for a steep descent into the Valley. From Hayvenhurst, continue to wind our way over the (not-so) secret commuter route to Valley Vista, Wells, and Dumetz, to Topanga Canyon. Take a break at the Starbucks, and then climb New Topanga over and down to PCH. The short route is 30 hilly miles. The long route is 48 miles with more hills and 3700 feet of climbing. There are a few steep sections.

Here is the route to help you from getting too lost:

The usual trip up PCH to Malibu at which point the short distance riders return. Up Malibu Canyon to Piuma and then up this tough little 5 mile climb. Drop down to Schueren, turn left, and then up to the junction with Saddle Peak and Stunt. Enjoy the view, then take Saddle Peak back to the top of Tuna Canyon and turn left for the very curvy descent down Fernwood Pacific to Topanga Canyon. Go back to PCH and home. 50 miles with about 3600 feet of climbing.

Through West LA to Santa Monica Blvd. Turn north at Beverly Glen and take a scenic tour all the way up to the top of Mulholland with one steepish section.

Return via Riverside, Valley Vista, and Sepulveda Pass. 55 miles. Moderate climbing.

Long, easy distance - Up PCH through Malibu, by Zuma, past Trancas to the Rock at Pt. Mugu, then back. A relatively flat 80 miles. Short routes turn around at Malibu or Trancas.
