Ride Report: Windbreakers Special Edition - Tour de Craft Breweries XIII

November 1, 2025.  Our semi-annual Tour de Craft Breweries cycling adventures hold a special place among our many favorite Windbreaker traditions.  Past tours have taken us to Orange County, Downtown LA, the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley.  Under sunny skies, five of our merry band of cycling brothers gathered on the first Saturday morning in November for a spirited tour along the San Gabriel Mountain foothills, before turning southwest through Alhambra, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights, finishing in the Arts District of Downtown LA.  After stops and Benny Boy Brewing and a return visit to one of our favorites, Angel City Brewing, we boarded the afternoon Metrolink train for the 1-hour return to Windbreaker Country.  Good times all around!  Ride On!

Our route for the day; west toward Pasadena
then southwest to DTLA. A mostly gentle descent
with a few decent bumps for fun!  Approx. 45 miles.

Stop #1; Benny Boy in Lincoln Heights.
L to R: John, Jim, Joe, Tom, Mike.
And Happy Birthday to Tom!!!
