5 Piers/Velo-Rendezvous Tune-up Ride/Sunday, August 26th/Southern California
**End-of-Summer ride...lots of beautiful beaches, fresh air & conversation**
Greetings One and All! This is an advance notice for the upcoming 5 Piers ride on Sunday, August 26th. This ride covers approximately 39 easy miles from the Belmont (Shore) Pier area to the Seal Beach, Huntington Beach and thenNewport Beach Pier and then back. The last hop to the Balboa Pier and the Wedge is optional. We will stop for coffee ect. at/around the Newport Pier and then head back. I'll provide refreshments before the ride...We will meet at 9:30 AM or so & rollout at 10 AM. I'd like to go with an English or fixed gear theme-otherwise anything 1986 or earlier will work. If you want to ride an iBobster than put it in friction mode. The start location is close to the I-section of the 405, 605 and 22 Fwy's just north of the Los Angeles/Orange County line in Sunny Southern Calif. This is a "No-Drop" ride and will regroup as needed. The ride is flat along the beach bikepath so it is truly 39 or so easy miles. More details to follow ...address & directions will be provided to those interested in participating. Please RSVP so I can get a headcount for the bagel/danish/pre-ride goodies.
