2️⃣ Vista: CDR / Lilac UN-Twist - 44 mi / 2700' **OR** 36 mi / 1700'

  • CRUNCH Fitness Vista, CA 225 Vista Village Drive Vista, CA, 92083 United States (map)

2️⃣Routes!
Both are the SAME until Mile 20

Come Join us for our Member* Group ride.  

OPTION#1: A reverse of the “Twist” route, this ride will provide you with scenic vistas, challenging climbs, and thrilling (& Long!) descents.

We still warm-up in Warmlands & Guajome, and then it's off to CDR / Old Historic 395. We continue onto Circle R for a steady climb and then it’s another long downhill on Lilac—back to CDR! We traverse the Guajome region and back to the finish thru Vista.

NOTE: The only restrooms / water are at miles 10 and 33, so be prepared…

OPTION #2: “CDR RE-RUN”: Same course as above for the first 20 miles. When we arrive at Historic Hwy 395 (Champagne Blvd) we execute a U-TURN and “re-run” CDR! After a pit stop at the 7-11 in Bonsall (Hwy 76) we follow the same course as the longer ride. This is a Great Choice if you wish to do a bit less “climbing” today! Scheduled stops are at Mile 10 and Mile 25.

*Non-Members may ride one "test" ride.

Note: Due to the wide-range of fitness and ability levels among cyclists, you should load the course onto your GPS device in case you become separated from the group (ahead OR behind!)

Ride Duration Time is Estimated

All Riders must be self-sufficient (nutrition, hydration, tools, tubes, etc.)

Ride Format
FRCC Rides may have different Groups:

● TEMPO - Brisk pace, 18-22 mph on flat terrain, Occasional Regrouping, Riders May Be Dropped if repeatedly losing contact.
● FITNESS - Endurance pace, 14-18 mph on flat terrain. No Drop with Regroupings as necessary.
● TOURING - Relaxed / Recovery pace, 12-16 mph on flat terrain. No Drop with Regroupings as necessary.

Groups Ride the Same Route and ride together for the first few miles. Members may choose to ride in any group. A rider that loses contact with a chosen group may be absorbed by the following Group IF THERE IS ONE. All Riders should have the route on their GPS device and be fully self-sufficient regarding navigation, roadside repair, nutrition & hydration.
