Sunday June 21

Join the Trudging Buddies for a classic Westside training ride featuring two LA favorites: Franklin Canyon and Mandeville Canyon.

We’ll roll out from West Hollywood, warm up with the scenic climb through Franklin Canyon, then make our way to the iconic Mandeville Canyon before cruising back together. Expect a steady pace, plenty of regroup points, and supportive teammates every step (and pedal stroke) of the way.

This is a no-drop ride, but riders should be comfortable climbing at their own pace. We’ll regroup at the top of each climb so no one gets left behind.

Please arrive by 8:00 AM so we can get everyone checked in, go over any ride details, and roll out promptly at 8:30 AM.

One of the best parts of recovery? Rediscovering the things that bring us joy. 🧡

And finding new ones — surrounded by a community you can trust.

That’s what Trudging Buddies is all about: a safe place to show up, try something new, and breathe a little easier. This Saturday, that looks like yoga.

Foundations of Yoga + Meditation with Emmett Patton — every body, every level. No experience needed, no pretzel poses required. Just the poses, the breath, and a little well-earned quiet.

Show up. Breathe. Flow. Get present. 🧘

One of the best parts of recovery is getting to try new things — and rediscover the ones you’ve always loved. And getting to do it all surrounded by people who get it.

Join us for Foundations of Yoga + Meditation with Emmett Patton — a class built for every body and every level. No experience needed, no pretzel poses required. Just the basics done right: the poses, the breath, and a little well-earned quiet.

This is what building on your recovery looks like — showing up for yourself, on the mat, with your people beside you.

This weekend’s lineup is stacked. 🏊🚴🎾

TB Swim Club is back in the water Saturday morning at Verdugo Aquatic Center in Burbank. TB Cycling Club rolls Sunday with a 31-mile WeHo-to-Valley route featuring over 2,300 feet of climbing. And TB Tennis Club is keeping the courts active at Vermont Canyon in Griffith Park.

Whether you’re showing up for laps, miles, rallies, or just the community, there’s a place for you here.

Sober connection doesn’t have to happen sitting in a circle. Sometimes it looks like goggles, bikes, rackets, coffee stops, and early mornings with people who get it.
