62 mi, 4,150 ft, Franklin Canyon and Betty Dearing - Ride Leader : Bob Kellogg

Starting from MB Pier at 8:30, we head up the bike path to Sid K Park.  Then up to Franklin Canyon where we'll take some dirt trails down and back up.  We'll head across Mulholland onto the Betty Dearing Trail, which is a first for the Thursday rides.  Then it's up a steep pitch in Fryman Canyon to find another nice trail.  Finally, it's up Dixie Canyon and across Mulholland to Canyonback.  This is an intermediate level ride with some steep pitches and singletrack.  A gravel or mountain bike will work just fine.  You can start in Marina Del Rey, or maybe Beverly Hills, if you want to cut out some of the road portion.
