Owen Brown Grave Hike at 4PM

**Our first hike after the clocks go back, so we will not start the hikes at 4;00PM!!** **CANCEL IF RAIN.....I wont know until early Sunday afternoon.** This is a group hike that ***stays together*** as we hike. We wait for people to catch up, we don't split into separate groups with one moving faster than the other. If this group doesn't move fast enough for you, please find another that suits you better. Thanks *** Come join us as we return to the canyon views on this weekend! We start in Altadena and hike above El Prieto Canyon, checking out the secluded grave of abolitionist Owen Brown. Most of the trail is gradual up and down, from pathways to fire roads which eventually lead to a creek. **Note! We start this hike on a residential street. Please Google 4552 El Prieto Rd in Altadena. This is where we will park and start the hike! Look for the brown "Owen Brown Gravesite" sign at the start of the asphalt road at the end of culdesac. Look at the photo for this hike, you will see the address marked! Check the map pin at the bottom of this event page!** **Allow yourself a few extra minutes to find this street if it is your first time.** **My text is 818-261-0879-please contact me beforehand to work out any questions!**

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

\*\*Mweep Mweep!\*\*━━ or is it Beep Beep? We are a growing community of cyclists who enjoy exploring Southern California on two wheels with friends. 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. Guests and Out-of-town cyclists are welcome on every ride.

2537 South Fairfax Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232
(424) 543-3820 **PARKING** Limited free parking is available in front of the gym in its own lot but fills up quickly. A bigger lot (also free) is directly across the street on Fairfax, and there is metered and free street parking around the block. Please be aware if tandem parking, you will have to sign a log and be ready to move your car on notice. I recommend entering the gym lot from Fairfax, if there’s no parking go through it and turn right on Hines to look for street parking. Continue on and turn right on Washington. Still no luck? Go through the intersection and turn right onto Genesse to access the big lot, then walk to cross the street to the gym at Adams. Once you get checked in, turn left and go down the stairs. Look for the Meetup Figure 8 Fridays group flag! Hope this helps and I’m looking forward to climbing with you! —Sheila
