This bicycle ride will take us to Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City to visit The California LGBTQIA+ Veterans’ Memorial to honor Veteran’s Day.  

This Memorial was dedicated April 27, 2019 by the State of California through CA Assembly Bill 2439.

We will ride through Ranch Club Estates and Gene Autry neighborhoods to access the CV Link trail from Vista Chino to Ramon Road.  At this point we will cross over the Wash and ride through Cathedral City Neighborhoods to access the Desert Memorial Park on Da Vall and visit the Memorial.  We will backtrack for our return.  Distance round trip will be 12-15 miles.  

Desert Memorial Park is also the Final Resting Place of many local notables;  The Sinatra’s, Busby Berkeley, Sonny Bono, Lawrence L. Crossley and Velma Wayne Dawson - to name a few!  Look up Desert Memorial Park for the complete list of notables resting there (click here)
