Very late notice, who wants to do a road ride around OC tomorrow 3/28?

Ok

Could not decide where to ride all day but finally I've decided to give my poor little road bike some work out since it has been so long.....#-o

I'm doing a 50 mile tour of OC starting from Albertson/Oaks parking lot around 9am....I know it's late.

There will be some hills but nothing too ridiculous....just hit the beach via santiago canyon road and back on jamboree.

Let me know, I sure would like some company.

I'll check PM and thread in the morning.:wave:

My email is [email protected] or call me at 714 326 7978 if you can make it. Should be beautiful out tomorrow.:beer:

 

Sorry man, no road bike and I will be sleeping. Hope you can make it Sunday. Time is still up in the air. Give me a call tomorrow.

 

Sorry, can't make it

There is a "food park" ride that starts at 0830 at the Coffee Bean on Harvard/Main though. I think it's a pretty serious ride, not sure if that's what you're looking for?!?!?

 

What's a food park ride? Have you been on one?

 

Sorry I didn't get back here. Food park is every Sat around 0830, I haven't done it. I heard it's race pace and most of the riders are serious (ie, be comfortable in a tight pack). I think it's short though, like 1-1 1/2 hrs?!?!?

 

Serious eh? But can they handle a bike path warrior?

 

The Food Park ride is pretty intense. There have been many pro cyclist that tend to ride with this group. Most notably Floyd Landis.

 

Wow......that might be a bit too intense for me.#-o

 

I would defiantly like to do this ride sometime soon on maybe a Saturday morning if you want to lead the way that would be nice or you could post directions as well.

let me know when you want to do this ride.

 

Here is the route:

Totally 57 miles and 3000ft. But I got lost chatting with some people on the trail, so I should of stay straight on the river trail up jamboree but not a big deal....mostly flat anyways.

Yeah I'll post the ride next time I go and do that route....very nice route with good bike lanes. A few other STR people have said they want to join too.

If you don't feel like climbing newport coast then you can hit up the river trail at jamboree....very little hills that way.

 

I have a route from Cal Poly pomona through carbon canyon to the beach area and back thats about 86 or so miles if you want to do that one sometime soon as well.

 

That sounds like a nice route BUT i'm scared of carbon canyon later on during the day. Too many wanna be speed racers there.

If you want more miles just go further down to ortega and do the full tour of OC that's about 80 miles also.:wave:
