OC Cyclist aspires to be something in between the boy racer pack and the club membership rides.
There is nothing wrong with either of these riding groups, just some riders want a little less race and don't want to join a club.
This group has had a few bumps along the way due to Covid and core members moving on. This website is an effort to rebuild the group and have some fun rides.
Location: Peet's Coffee shop at Culver and Portola in Irvine, 3927 Portola Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92602
When: Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 am
What: There will be three routes for long (50-60+ miles), medium (40ish miles), and short (25ish miles).
The long group may break into a fast group and not so fast group.
Caveat. Since the group is rebuilding, the number of riders on each route is unknown. Invite your friends!
Group start for socializing, but you should find out who is riding which route and try to be with them at the start.
About 5 - 7 miles in, the pace will pick up and the groups will separate.
Routes: The routes will change every week just to keep everyone from getting bored. See below for the routes per week. It is HIGHLY recommended that you put the route in your bike computer and know where you are going.
Etiquette: This group is a little more structured than most groups, especially the long and medium routes. We kind of ride as a team with some friendly competition.
Saturday currently has 5 routes with 4 of them being used in order for each month. The 5th option is for months with 5 weeks. We may expand this to 9 routes just for more variety. If a route is changed due to hazards, then you may be notified via email or FaceBook.
If you prefer text messages instead, then do this.
