2️⃣Routes!

Both are the Same until Mile 15

OPTION #1: This Metric Century ride takes you to "Bates Nut Farm" on a rural, scenic & hilly route. A fly-by of Lake Wohlford (fun downhill) and then ride thru Escondido, San Marcos and Vista on urban streets and bike paths.

OPTION #2: “No Nuts” for you! Still a challenging and Climbing route, we skip Valley Center and ride Historic Hwy 395 instead (long, gradual climb). Otherwise, it is nearly the same route.

*Non-Members are WELCOME to come out for a "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!)
