NEW
YEAR'S DAY RIDE
77 Miles
Robert
Nam provided the following information.
8:45 AM MEET
9:00 AM START |
San
Vicente & Ocean Bl
(click
here for map)
|
| Fairly flat with a couple
of rollers. Ride up the coast to Las Posas Road (this
is where PCH turns into a freeway - exit at Las Posas
and turn left, cross the overpass and then back onto
PCH back to Santa Monica. |
- There should be very little traffic
so a great time to enjoy the coast.
- In the last few of years the group
has swelled to 150+ riders so please be mindful not
to bunch up on PCH.
- Try to ride only 2 abreast. If you're
not comfortable riding in packs, please go to the back
of the group.
- This is a 'free' ride and everyone
is expected to be responsible for their own safety when
riding with the group.
STOPS
- First stop to regroup is Trancas for
water, restrooms, etc at the Chevron station (if you
prefer to continue without stopping, please go to the
back and wait til everyone turns so you don't take people
with you who may have to stop).
- Second stop to
regroup is at Las Posas bridge before turning around.
SAG - No sag this year so please
carry all necessary items to be self sufficient. there's
plenty of places to stop for water, food, etc but you
should carry spare tubes, pump, etc.
thanks and hope to see everyone on the road!

ps - no ride if it rains
