From the ride to <strong>SoFi Stadium<\/strong> to the coastal push all the way to <strong>Santa Monica<\/strong>, we\u2019ve stacked up miles with flying colors. Each route has been a testament to our endurance, our unity, and our joy in reclaiming the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month\u2019s Valley ride is no different. In fact, it\u2019s being celebrated as our <strong>Champion Ride of 2025<\/strong> \u2014 not just because of the elevation, climbs, and distance, but because it\u2019s the perfect chance to <strong>challenge yourself, push your limits, and burn off those Thanksgiving holiday calories<\/strong>. Think of it as a ride that rewards you twice: with the thrill of conquering the Valley and the satisfaction of knowing you\u2019ve powered through the season with strength and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eff6fe\"><em><strong>This month\u2019s route is called our Champion Ride of 2025<\/strong> because of the elevation, climbs, and distance \u2014 but it\u2019s not about racing or crossing a finish line. It\u2019s about challenging yourself at your own pace, enjoying the ride, and celebrating the strength it takes to show up and pedal with the community. Every rider who joins and embraces this month&#8217;s journey earns the spirit and title of a champion, whether they ride the whole route or just part of it.<\/em><br><br><em><strong>This month, ride with our masses of participants!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1325315367.jpg?w=1296&amp;h=730&amp;crop=1&amp;resize=1000%2C563\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Route &amp; Breaks<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start:<\/strong> Western &amp; Wilshire, Koreatown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Destination: <\/strong>San Fernando Valley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 26+ miles round trip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Breaks:<\/strong> Three planned stops.
