We stay around 97th street in OC, and I usually ride north up 1. I really enjoy the ride, usually go to Rehoboth and back. I've explored inland, but a little unsure of good routes. Would love to find a club ride, I'll check out the link as well.

Nice thing about riding up the coast, I swap days with my wife. I ride, she walks the beach early as the kids sleep in. I like early rides because traffic is light and there are lots of other cyclist on the road.

We go almost every year - love OC.
