SoCal TE Ride 7/1 (Saturday)... who's in?

[bcipam]

I was hoping to get and post the route slip from my friend Jess but it has not arrived yet. No worries, I have a route planned in my head. I think with all this "Africa Hot" weather we are having we will skip the hill climbing in the beginning. I still plan on doing Newport Coast. Will also have a little climbing once we hit PCH, but its a little hill. Depending on how everyone is doing and what the weather is like, we can add some hill climbing (and mileage) on the end. I'd like to do 50 miles but with really hot weather may cut it to 40 or so. Remember to bring plenty of water and snacky snacks.

Anyway, let's plan on meeting at Cedar Grove Park around 8 - planning to leave at 830a. Directions:

Cedar grove Park, Tustin Ranch CA

From LA: Take 5 South past the 55 (Newport Fwy), exit Tustin Ranch Rd. turn left. Continue up Tustin Ranch Rd. to Pioneer (approximately 1 1/2 - 2 miles), turn left, right, and then immediately left into the Park parking lot. Note if you hit Jamboree, you went too far. Pioneer is the left turn before Jamboree. Tustin Ranch dead ends into Jamboree. Look for the 7th Day Adventist Church and OC Fire Station at the corner of Tustin Ranch and Pioneer.

From South OC or San Diego: Take 5 North, exit Jamboree turn right. Take Jamboree past Irvine Blvd, look for Tustin Ranch Rd., turn left. Next right is Pioneer, turn right, then right again and left into the Park.

My cell phone is (714) 308-5522. Please call me if you are running late, get lost etc so we wait for you. I have a white Ford Explorer with cycling stickers all over the back window, license "BIKNPAM".

I'm hoping both Wayne and my friend Richard join us. Please give me a roll call so I know whose coming and know to wait for you all.
