Come Join us for our Member* Group ride.

C.O.V.E. = Carlsbad Oceanside Vista Express 🚂

All-Aboard the Express! 📣 We roll along the Coast to the San Luis Rey River bike path (great warm up!) Then it’s a fly-by of Vista Village and into the rolling hills of Eastern Carlsbad. A cruise thru the Batiquitos Lagoon region and back to the Coast for a short ride to the Finish. 🏁

We Meet in the center of Carlsbad Village where post-ride Food, Drink, and more FUN is only “steps away” 😎

*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.)
