Today’s Notable Residences Bike Ride Part 2 will take us through the quiet
streets of The Movie Colony, Vista Las Palmas, Old Las Palmas and Little Tuscany. The properties visited on this Part 2 Bike Ride are different from the original Notable Residences Bike Ride. We will visit notable homes identified by The Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board plaques, homeowner placed plaques, as well as properties designated by The National Register of Historic Places. Street stops will include addresses of 
famous former owners, as well as modernism architectural styles popularized by notable architects of the period. This is a mostly flat riding experience. However, there are slight inclines riding through the Vista Las Palmas and Little Tuscany neighborhoods. We will return to the meet location at journey's end. Bathroom facilities will be found at Ruth Hardy Park.
Meet Location: meet at 9:30 AM at the Desert Healthcare (Wellness) Park at the southeast corner of E. Tachevah Dr. and N. Via Miraleste. If you drive to the
meet location, there is ample parking along N. Via Miraleste next to Ruth Hardy Park's tennis courts as well as within the park. Map click here.
Distance: Total length about 8-10 miles round trip.
Disclaimer: This is a casual bike hike, not a fitness ride. We will stop for Historic Plaque viewing/reading and discussion points at approximately 15 locations.
We will cross Palm Canyon Drive at traffic lights in both directions.
You should consider yourself a confident street cyclist to enjoy this ride.
