Zig zag your way through East Hollywood, Westlake, downtown Los Angeles and Boyle Heights on Sunday, April 10 from 10am to 3pm. Through cicLAvia.org, the a 7 1/2 mile route will be vacant of automobiles and replaced with walkers, joggers, and cyclists and skateboard enthusiasts. It’s free. It’s a family-friendly, all ages. Bring the Big Wheel, bring the red wagon. Jog, walk, run, race, or go at your own pace.
See historical downtown Los Angeles architecture or gawk at the tricked out bikes, and life-size graffiti on big building fronts. To add adventure, take the train to LA. The CicLAvia route is only three blocks from Union Station. There’s an Amtrak station in almost all Saddleback campus cities. So hail your Health Champion and go as a group and take the train to Union Station.
