OC July 30th ride

[Brandy]

Tell me where to meet you ladies on Sunday and what time! I'm so lame that I scrolled this whole thread and couldn't figure it out!

Bonita Creek Park in Newport Beach at 8:00 a.m.

[Brandy]

What: Team Estrogen meets Bike Forums (aka Team Hormones...lol)

Where: Bonita Creek Park in Newport Beach (University and La Vida off of Jamboree)

Date: Sunday July 30th

When: 8:00 a.m. sharp so we can leave ASAP before the inferno starts!

We'll ride the SD Creek Trail up to Irvine and make our way toward Chapman/Jamboree where we'll regroup and refill water bottles before starting the climb through Santiago Canyon Road. We'll come out on Glenn Ranch and then take that across Portola where we'll stop for food (Starbucks, Wahoo's, pizza, deli or BBQ) at mile 29. After eating we'll head toward Irvine and take a bike path that will put us close to Bonita side of Newport Coast Drive and after climbing that we'll head toward Back Bay where people can either head back to their cars, or do a 9 mile loop of Back Bay.

Total mileage including Back Bay should be just under 60 miles and there should be around 3500 feet of elevation gain. This is a SOCIAL RIDE vs. a hammerfest and jschen has volunteered to torture anyone who breaks the no-drop rule.

We welcome anyone and everyone, even if you're new Just be sure to post on the thread so we know to look for you!
