Heyyy so I'm new to the area...
Thinking about going to North Hollywood tonight (rehab) and am a little iffy on it because I've never gone up there before....I'm coming from echo park
Any route suggestions....Should I go through Hollywood or Glendale? Are there a lot of steep hills? Any help appreciated! I'd rather a steady climb for a hill than a couple steep ones.
Thx

if you do not want to take the train... if you can get to los feliz and riverside... take the river trail until Riverside Dr which is past the zoo... make a right and Riverside Dr turns into Victory... take it for about 3 miles then make a right on Chandler... about another 3 miles and you should be at the NoHo metro.... Chandler has its a bike path and no hills.... Victory pretty much no hills... You should take the metro back since it will be very dark... you can start on Fletcher and riverside too....

I usually take the train back cuz I am lazy. last train from NH to DTLA is 12:54am so you don't have to worry about missing the train.

honestly, taking cahuenga blvd over the pass int THAT bad (it's a good pre-ride workout). I'd recommend probably taking sunset west to cahuenga north and riding on the east side of the 101 (that roadway is one-way valley-bound, so no oncoming traffic). i think you have to cross to cahuenga west (west side of the 101) at barham or buddy holly though, then go right at lankershim and then right on vineland to the bike path. if you prefer taking the train to there, though, definitely take cahuenga back. it's much easier coming from the valley than from hollywood and the downhill is very very fun. (coming back i'd ride on the west side of the 101, then cross on the 1st bridge past the mulholland bridge to the east side of the 101 so that you come out of the pass on cahuenga and not highland)
