LA Ride was an interactive, slow to medium-paced bike ride, open to the public, where the riders visited various locations designed by Landscape Architects throughout the host city. They heard details about the featured projects from the professionals who actually worked on them and explored city-scapes, parks, trail systems, sustainable landscapes, school campuses, sports facilities, gardens, urban agricultural sites and historic places, all of which were designed and created by Landscape Architects.

Every ride included "Lecture Sites" and "Mini Stops" where planners, advocates, and technical staff gave presentations to the group. CEU's were also available for each ride.
