This Sunday at Loma Alta Park

On Sunday, Altadena hosts two fun ways to help raise funds for five great causes.
The Naked Crow Mountain Bike Challenge is an off-road challenge on a rigorous course in the San Gabriel Mountains that, despite its name and an expectation for fun, does not actually encourage participants to ride naked.

Register for the ride at 8 a.m. at Loma Alta Park, 3330 Lincoln Ave., which is also playing host to a kids safety course.

Also in the park, the Altadena Rotary Pancake Breakfast runs concurrent with the festivities from 7 to 11 a.m., offering a chance to carb-load to one's heart's content. At $5 per person or $10 for families for all you can scarf down, no one should go away hungry or broke.

If planning to fill your gullet, don't show up too late or there will hardly be any time to let your food settle before a raucous concert from legendary Pasadena rock ‘n' roll bad boys Snotty Scotty and the Hankies, who are expected to fire up their amps sometime shortly after 11 a.m.
All funds raised benefit the Altadena Rotary Charities, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Altadena Senior Center, Altadena Meals on Wheels and Pasadena's Ronald McDonald House.
