Hopefully no glitches...
This is a nicer variation of the route we did in March, starting and ending in Seal Beach.
We take Route 1 from Seal Beach to Newport Beach, then head inland via the beautiful Back Bay trail to Irvine.
We leave the trail to circle through the Turtle Rock neighborhood, then back through Irvine and south to the Aliso Creek Trail.
After a Starbucks stop, we climb through Laguna Hills and then rejoin the Aliso Creek trail and head back to Irvine via roads and the San Diego Creek Trail.
After lunch at Corner Bakery, we head back to the coast via the Mountains to Sea Trail, and then take Route 1 back to Seal Beach.
This is a "ride at your own pace" ride.
I'll be riding at a B pace and all are welcome to stay with me; A riders are welcome to go ahead on their own (please review the route). Slower riders, please make sure you bring a friend so that you will not be alone.
Start time: arrive in time to park, pay, and get yourself and bike ready to roll at 7:30 AM
Start location: Eisenhower Park, Ocean Ave & Main Street, Seal Beach.
Paid Parking Lot on beach side - entrance at 8th street: Eisenhower Park beach parking lot
