2️⃣ Routes!
Both are the SAME until Mile 20!
Come Join us for our Member* Group ride.
OPTION #1: We travel thru San Marcos on a variety of urban & residential roads to the Famous "Champagne Blvd." in Escondido (Lawrence Welk's honor) where we experience an exhilarating 3 miles of downhill!!
Heading North, we start climbing on Circle R and see our first Avocado Groves of the day. The route follows Lilac Road to Historic Hwy 395--another BIG downhill! Working our way thru Horse Ranch Creek we then climb Ranger Road (a steady moderate climb) into Fallbrook, the "Avocado Capital of the World"! Then back via the "tree tunnel" of Green Canyon Road and some urban roads. FUN!
NOTE: Very Limited resources on this ride (water / restrooms / food, etc.). Be Prepared!
OPTION #2: The “395 Express” rolls along the same course until Mile 20. Then it splits and travels along the scenic Camino Del Rey road. After a quick pit-stop at 7-11 on Hwy 76 we roll back on Vista Way and a few Vista backroads. Shorter and a LOT less climbing than the long 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!)
