you could take the gold line all the way to the end at Sierra Madre and ride into the office. I am trying to get into a routine where I ride an express commuter bus to work (bike on the bus rack) and ride home.
The Memorial Park Station is close to the Rose Bowl. There is a TON of great riding there, laps around the bowl or all the hills surrounding it. I love riding at the RB!!! There is also a fantastic aquatic center there, it's $$ tho. What is your shower situation like at work?
If you have a shower at work, you're set. Cos you work by a lot of great routes and group rides! Or if you like to ride after work then you're good!
As for riding around Griffith there is a 5 mile loop around the park/zoo. There is also a paved path not open to cars that takes you up to the observatory. It's a nice 2 mile climb. LA River bike path also goes thru there. LA Tri club does a Wed night group ride (used to anyway) I don't suggest riding there on the weekend it's a bit crowded with people going to the zoo and museum. Check out the Barry Wolfe ride and the Love ride. Both good routes in the area, with or without a group.
