There is a vinage ride first Sunday of the month, starts at Brookside Park by the Rose Bowl. Not sure if it's still going on because of the virus.

Vintage vintage
I’m a vintage rider, and my bikes are from the 80s and 90s when I was not.

Welcome to BF! Check out the vintage scene in the Classic and Vintage Forums, has its own sales section too! I second the Velo-Retro Ride as a group meeting ride, we start at the Aquatic Center parking lot at 11:00 am on the first Sunday of each month. With the Covid pandemic, ridership has dropped but "the ride still happens even if no one shows up". Hope to see you there sometime.

Thanks, sounds great, I'll try to make it, with a mask of course!
