We are a group of cyclists who enjoy cycling the roads of Southern California, primarily Orange County. Members also train for the AIDS/LifeCycle (545 mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for AIDS services in California). We are a welcoming group focused on training and comradery. Join us in Orange County for a training ride!
This is WK 05 of the 2024 training season and we’ll increase our standard route to 25 miles and our advanced route will be 45 miles. Both routes will make a pit stop at Pete’s Coffee at Portola and Culver in Irvine. The routes will stay together as we move south until we reach Campus Drive where the standard route will return to the cars.
The advanced route will continue to a second pit stop at C’est Si Bon in Newport Beach before returning to the cars via the Santa Ana River Trail.
The standard ride is for those who haven’t ridden long distances previously with the intention of working up to being able to do the ALC ride with confidence.
The advanced route is for those looking for a bit more of a challenge.
Join us at Tacos and Co. afterwards for Tacos and more!

The advanced route is at:https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45412883/
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!
