Arroyo Seco Water Ride

Join us for a day of outdoor adventure on **Sunday, July 12, 2026**, with two exciting events: the **Arroyo Seco Water Ride** and the **Learn to Bike Class & Bike Rodeo**.

**Arroyo Seco Water Ride**: This family-friendly bike ride kicks off at **9:00 AM** from **Memorial Park** in Pasadena, taking participants on a scenic 6-mile route. The ride provides an insightful look at existing and proposed water projects in the Arroyo Seco. It's a beginner-friendly ride with some hills, and participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes (e-bikes welcome). Sign in starts at **9:00 AM**, followed by a ride rollout at **9:30 AM**, and a return with a raffle at **11:00 AM**. Don't forget to earn free tickets for **ActiveSGV** swag by arriving via active transport, wearing event attire, or being a member. A signed waiver is required for participants, especially minors.

**Learn to Bike Class in El Monte**: Simultaneously, the **Learn to Bike Class** and **Bike Rodeo** will take place at **Tony Arceo Memorial Park** from **9:00 AM to 11:30 AM**. This free event is designed for riders of all ages, focusing on essential bike skills for beginners to intermediates, including balancing, stopping, and safe riding practices. Bikes and helmets are available to borrow while supplies last, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own helmets, closed-toed shoes, and water bottles. Pre-registration is required, along with signed waivers for minors, and public transit options are available.

Both events foster a spirit of community and active living, so join us for a fun-filled day of biking and learning! In case of rain, notifications will be sent 24 hours prior to the events.
