The family-friendly event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 9, at Valencia Heritage Park, located at 24155 Newhall Ranch Road.

Participants will depart from Valencia Heritage Park at 10 a.m. sharp to enjoy a guided, non-competitive bicycle ride exploring the City’s trail system.

The ride will conclude back at Valencia Heritage Park with family fun festivities featuring giveaways, tricycle races, free food from Jersey Mikes, a bike tune-up area and more.

The Amgen Tour of California Street Team will also be at the event with giveaways to get residents into the spirit of America’s greatest cycling race, which rolls into Santa Clarita on Thursday, May 14 for the Stage 5 Finish from Santa Barbara.

As the Amgen Tour of California makes its way to Santa Clarita, residents can join fellow cycling enthusiasts for the Amgen Tour of California Viewing Party at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13 at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, located at 24320 Town Center Drive. The FREE event will feature a recap of Stage 4 of the race, plus giveaways and items to be raffled off, including official signed riders jerseys. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. The viewing party will coincide with the live NBC Sports Network telecast. Times are subject to change.

The City Santa Clarita’s community cycling events continue with Bike to Work Day on Thursday, May 14. Held during LA Metro’s Bike to Work Week, the friendly, community competition challenges Santa Clarita businesses to get the most employees to bike to work.
