Camping: Limited spaces (16) are available for tent camping at the South Carlsbad State Beach. Gas guzzeling car parking is very limited - so coordinate with Bill if you are planning to have another person drive down &/or camp with you, There are only 2 cars allowed per camp site so coordinate with Bill to car camp!

Inn or other lodging plans : Make your own reservations... Ok, you can almost have as much fun but sleep in a bed indoors (and have a pool & bath tub etc.): the beach is a short walk/ride from the Inn. Secure your own room reservation at the Carlsbad Inns of America @ (760) 931-1185 & ask for one of the group discounted block of rooms for the Bicycle Club of Irvine. Compare with AAA & other discounts - you may get a better rate but make sure they include you in the BCI block of rooms! Make reservations as soon as possible, as the Inn will likely fill up again this year!
If you don't get into the Inn, there is also a Motel 6 directly next door - Penny and Doug are coordinating dinner at the beach; fresh delivered pizza and a gourmet salad so everyone can dine together, or you can opt out & find / cook dinner on your own... but come over to the camp ground for sunset & campfire to fully appreciate the touring experience!
