About this Event
Ride With Us! 🚲
ActiveSGV's Youth Community Access program invites youth from El Monte and South El Monte to join us for a free community clean up bike ride! We’ll ride together from the Jeff Seymour Family Center to Bosque, and enjoy a free lunch as well! Clean-up supplies like gloves and trash bags will be provided.
The pace will be relaxed, and the route has been selected with rider comfort and safety in mind.
