Im starting at union station. Is there an entrance on district blvd?
I am looking at it through google maps so its a bit tough to see.

the closest acess to the bike trail, going north toward the valley is on fletcher where it hits the river, it's opposite the big heron gate thing.

what the fuzzbeast said. you could take glendale uphill (near the 2 fwy) then downhill past cha-chas and the red lion tavern. from there you hook a right onto fletcher and then a left on the first small street once you go under the fwy. voila... you're on your way to EL VALLE (the valley)

Liz,
I just emailed you a detailed route slip. That will get you to Atlantic and District, no sweat.

Here it is, for anyone else who is curious. Its about 6 miles from Union Station.
Left onto Alameda from the front of Union Station
Left on 2nd Street, go a short distance
Right on Santa Fe, go about 3 miles
Left on Pacific, Pacific curves to the right, go1/2 mile
Left on Leonis, go about 2 miles
Leonis at some point becomes District
Cross Atlantic and then some RR tracks
Left onto the L.A. River bike path, right after Atlantic
Right on bike path (you can’t go left very far)

thanks so much, you are a gentleman and a scholar... unless you're a woman, in which case... would you marry me?
but on a more serious note... i think i'll save this next time i'm lost down there (and it's happened quite a few times)
