Come Join us for our Member* Group ride.

C.O.V.E. = Carlsbad Oceanside Vista Express 🚂 GT = Gran Touring Metric Version 💯km

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 leads us to the Coastal Hills of Leucadia and Encinitas. Headed back North along the Coast, we get very close to our Finish Line… But Wait! There’s More! We cruise to the Oceanside Harbor and then head back for a 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!)
