DETAILS: This Sunday we're riding everybody's favorite...through Camp Pendleton!
This is
a great ride with gorgeous views and lightly traveled roads. We will start from
Oceanside
Harbor overflow (free) parking lot, meeting at at the Harbor by 7:45 for an 8
a.m. roll-out.
We will all start together with two different pace groups (10 to 15 mph; 15 to
20 mph), and
will ride until each group wants to turn back. As always, no one will be left
behind.
THE ROUTE: This route will take you through Camp Pendleton (10 miles one-way
from
front to back gate), so you MUST BRING YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE to get onto the
base. This
section of the route includes some moderate hill climbs (not easy, but not
Torrey Pines
scary). As we exit through the back gate and up the hill, we will take a break
in the Las
Pulgas Park n' Ride parking lot and see who would like to turn back at this
point and who
wants to ride further towards San Clemente. If you choose to ride further, you
can expect
small hills and more gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean as we ride through the
San
Clemente State Beach parking lots. We can stop again at the campground
entrance (8
miles from Las Pulgas Park n' Ride) to see who wants to turn around or continue
toward
San Clemente Sunday Farmer's Market where the route has more moderate hills
through
the residential neighborhood (fun hills because you get a "running" start!).
DIRECTIONS: To get to Oceanside Harbor Parking Lot, take Interstate 5 north to
Oceanside
Harbor Drive. Exit heading west. Turn left on Carmelo Drive (before Del Taco).
The street
will wrap around and down into a large parking lot.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us! We hope to see a lot of you
there!
