REQUEST: Informational Report Pertaining to Desert Recreation District's First
Annual Coachella Valley Cycle Fest Scheduled for Saturday,
October 22, 2011
SUBMITTED BY: Frankie Riddle, Director of Special Programs
DATE: August 25, 2011
CONTENT: Route Map
Turn by Turn Route
Recommendation:
Receive and file.
Discussion:
The Desert Recreation District is producing what is anticipated to be the first Annual Coachella
Valley Cycle (bike ride) Fest. The course will start/end at the Empire Polo Grounds on Monroe
Street in Indio. Staff met with representatives of Desert Recreation District to discuss the event
and route planned through Palm Desert. Based on the conversations held and the attached
route map reflecting suggested changes by City staff, the event appears to have minimal impact
to the community. In addition, this event is a ride, not a race, and riders are directed to obey the
rules of the road. Staff is in favor of the event.
Since riders will travel through some residential and commercial areas within the City, Desert
Recreation District will mail notices to those residents/businesses impacted by the route
advising of the event and other pertinent details.
Palm Desert Route:
• Enter Palm Desert via Country Club Dr.Mashington (west bound)
• Left (south bound) on Portola
• Right at Haystack (west bound)
• Left at Hwy 74 (south bound)
• Reverse direction at Big Horn (north bound)

• Left at Painters Path (west bound)
• SAG Stop at Chamber of Commerce area

• Travel behind stores at Desert Crossing (north bound)
