n2eus Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Join me this Sunday, April 7th, for a 37 miles ride around Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita. This loop is one of my favorite cross country routes because it has scenic variety, smooth flowing terrain, and minimal traffic signals. This ride is on streets, bikeways, and sidewalks. No offroading this time. The path is reflected in this map (except we won't cross Trabuco Creek this time):https://drive.google.com/open?id=18q_gc_zRabrsewEisUfcz6P96AbqVyQ6&usp=sharing EDIT: If this link is inaccessible, see image in my subsequent reply. Some of the features included in this ride: Oso Creek Arroyo Trabuco Wilderness O'Neill Regional Park RSM Lake Aliso Creek Bikeway Below is a Google Maps pin identifying the start location for this group ride. We will meet here at 9:30am and depart at 10:00am.https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GFyA_g8mljwLCqCPcD_dqXiUT7DtxIM2&usp=sharing EDIT: If this link is inaccessible, see google maps pin in my subsequent reply.

Marty Backe Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'll be there. Maybe you could post a Google Map Pin instead? I can't access your Google Drive link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we met last time too, right? Should be plenty of parking here for the 20 or 30 guys that are going to show up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Sounds like a good ride and it will be good to see you again.Have not seen you on a group ride in over a year and was starting to think that all those years of radiation exposure had caught up with you.

Rama Douglas Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I have work at 2pm that day, so as long as it's a wrap by 1:20 ish (for me), I can probably make it... Actually I just looked up how far it is from where I'll be working and I guess it may not be the best for me...🤔 I'm a slight maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be a 4-hour ride. Of course you could always ride for a couple of hours and Uber back to your car which will never be more that 4-miles away. Realistically, just ride straight back to your car. Look at the map - the ride is a giant loop. At any point you can take a straight line back to the car. This goes for anyone else who has a small capacity wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in Manhattan Beach that day so looks to be an hour and change away, so I'll probably join y'all and cut out early...🧠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a KS18L. Depending on rider weight, we could do a wheel swap at my house (approx. 29 miles), and swap back later. MSuper3S+ or Tesla. Marty's idea works also. 11 hours ago, IRK said: I’m in the same boat. I think it is time to upgrade from my V8! Haha I think Marty's solution would work, but you would miss the best features in this route. 3 hours ago, Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" said: Sounds like a good ride and it will be good to see you again.Have not seen you on a group ride in over a year and was starting to think that all those years of radiation exposure had caught up with you.

This goes for anyone else who would prefer another schedule as well. You can never satisfy everyone's needs, so you just have to schedule rides and enjoy whatever comes from it. Plan the rides that you like, not the other way around. The odds are you'll get a few compatible riders for any given ride that you want to schedule. This is why sometimes I'll announce a ride on very short notice. I'm going on the ride regardless, but it'll be great if others feel like joining. It would be great if someday, any given weekend there are multiple public rides announced and we all can pick and choice what we feel like doing that particular day. I'm trying to decide which wheel to bring; ACM, MSuper, MSX, KS18XL, or the Monster Leaning towards the ACM since this is a mostly suburban ride.

A few adult beverages later and I had accidentally hit the button. You can imagine my surprise when I got the FedEx notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
