We're taking train #794 scheduled to depart from Santa Barbara at 6:57 PM and arrive in Glendale at 9:35 PM. We're traveling under a group ticket (so there are no individual tickets). Jeremiah will coordinate our ticket with Amtrak staff. He will also be at the station if you have any questions.
Please note: Amtrak encourages passengers to arrive at the 30 minutes before departure.
Sign up for the lunch based on what you'd like to have. Please note, lunch options are not guaranteed.
Dinner: There are a number of restaurants a short distance from the Amtrak Station for you to choose from. Be sure to be at the train station in plenty of time for the departure. We will board together as a group.
If you've made it this far and still have questions, please visit our FAQ page!
GUESTS ARE WELCOME
We welcome guests to join us on our rides! The Summer of Love ride is a different ride in that you MUST pre-register and pay the guest fee before the registration deadline. There is no day-of registration options.
REGISTER/CANCEL REGISTRATION
Members: Sign in to your account to get Member pricing. Please Register for each of our rides as we use the number registered to buy lunch. If you can't make the ride (after registering), please Cancel Registration through the event page (Guests please contact us directly). When we buy food for 100 people registered, but only 60 people show up, we have a lot of wasted food and it cuts into our budgets. By registering, you also sign the mandatory waiver.
PLEASE NOTE
- All riders should be prepared to do minor repairs on the road (e.g., change a flat)
- Due to the challenging nature of most club supported rides, groups will invariably form and split up en route depending on riders levels of fitness, training goals, etc.
- For your safety, helmet is mandatory on PAA rides.
- Inclement weather or road closures may result in a change of the route or cancellation of event.
- Our SAGs will be actively sweeping for riders in need of support. Please make a note of all stops to ensure you are aware of the route and layout of mileage and elevation.
