ABOUT SOCALCROSS: Southern California Cyclocross (known as SoCalCross) was formed in 2005 by a group of cycling clubs eager to grow the sport and motivated to become the premier cyclocross race series in Southern California and nationwide! Since then the Series has grown over 400%, hosting races from San Diego to San Luis Obispo including the State of California CX Championship Showdown in January 2012! The Series is more than a bike race including Eco-Sport-fests promoting a healthy lifestyle expo, benefit rides and fun runs, kids runs, races and bike skills clinics all in a super fun festival environment. ABOUT MILLERS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL: Miller Childrens Hospital Long Beach provides specialized pediatric care for children and young adults, with conditions ranging from common to complexas well as maternity care for expectant mothersall under one roof. Only five percent of all hospitals are childrens hospitals, making them unique not only to childrens health care needs in the community, but across the region. Miller Childrens is one of only eight free-standing childrens hospitals in California. ABOUT IMBA/CORBA: is an all-volunteer non-profit organization serving the mountain bicycling community of Los Angeles and its surrounding areas including southern Ventura County. We are dedicated to preserving open space, maintaining public access to public lands, and creating more trail opportunities for all to enjoy. We are a Chapter of the International Mountain Bicycling Association. ABOUT THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION: The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network. ABOUT THE SAN GABRIEL RIVER: The Los Angeles region needs to reduce its reliance on imported water. In order to achieve this long term outcome, we need to improve the quality and reliability of our local water resources, by increasing conservation, recycling, and use of surface water and groundwater, and reduce stormwater runoff to the sea. Water in the rivers needs to promote a healthy native habitat both in the stream channels and receiving waters. The San Gabriel River flows 60.6 miles (97.5 km)[2] through southern Los Angeles County, California in the United States. Its main stem is about 43 miles (69 km) long, while its farthest tributaries extend almost 18 miles (29 km) altogether. It drains a long, narrow watershed basin extending from high in the San Gabriel Mountains above the eastern Los Angeles Basin, across the San Gabriel Valley, to the Pacific Ocean. The river derives its name from the Spanish Mission San Gabriel Arcngel founded in 1771, now in the present day city of San Gabriel. It was free flowing with natural banks and a riparian zone habitat lined with riparian forests, marshes, and grasslands for much of its length and a large estuary at its mouth until the last century. Today most of the San Gabriel after leaving the foothills is restrained in a broad concrete flood control channel, and impounded in places by debris and stormwater management pond dams. ABOUT THE SAN GABRIEL RIVER TRAIL BIKE PATH: The San Gabriel River Trail (also known as "SGRT") is a bike path in Los Angeles County, California, USA. The South end of the SGRT is Seal Beach. From Seal Beach there are opportunities to ride North or South along the coast. The northern segment begins near Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, where riders can continue North into El Monte (via the Rio Hondo), North into Azusa and Duarte (via the San Gabriel River Trail), or South to Long Beach (via the Rio Hondo bicycle path and the Los Angeles River). The San Gabriel River Trail can be ridden as part of a 61-mile (98 km) loop that is mostly bikeways: North on the SGRT, cross to the Rio Hondo at Whittier Narrows, then South (downstream) to the Los Angeles River, and continuing to Long Beach. In Long Beach, take the Shoreline Pedestrian Bikepath (and surface streets) South/East to the SGRT and head North, returning to the starting point. Traveling North from Wilderness Park, the path switches from the East side of the river to the West side of the river over the San Gabriel River Parkway Bridge, which is designated as a bike route by the city of Pico Rivera. From Whittier Narrows, the path follows the River north into South El Monte, Baldwin Park and Irwindale to the Santa Fe Dam. The path crosses the river on Arrow Highway next to the main spillway, then loops back to climb a steep ramp up to the rim of the dam. The path traces the rim of the dam around to the east of the flood basin and park, with access at Azusa Canyon Drive (main entrance to park). The path runs to the end of the dam abutment near the Miller Brewery and turns west to jog back to the river. The path finally ends at State Route 39 where it exits the narrow canyon in the extreme north of Azusa.
