YEAR'S DAY RIDE

Nam provided the following information.

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
