Explore some local train history during the Sunday Funday Ride. Led by board member Greg Laemmle, this ride will explore Los Angeles' historic trains and  stations.

We'll have two starting points--one at Union Station for a 25-mile ride and one at Glendale Train Station for a 5-mile ride--that will converge and ride to Travel Town together.

For those meeting at Union Station:

Meet at Union Station, and we'll head over through Lincoln Heights, Glassel Park, etc. en route to Glendale. From there, we'll head to Travel Town in Griffith Park. After our return, we'll grab some lunch at Philippe's and check out the train display in the backroom.
