Event: Chevron Manhattan Beach Grand Prix

Most attention on cycling in L.A. comes from a city-planning or activist perspective. But there’s room for an old-fashioned race as well, and the Chevron Manhattan Beach Grand Prix will draw more than 1,000 cyclists to its notoriously difficult race course. No unicycles or comically large front tires here, just pure speed and agility. Live Oak Park, Manhattan Beach. 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Sun. Free to watch, entry fees vary. Mbgp.com.
