This Saturday will be much like
EVERY BCI Saturday... But NOT AT DEERFIELD PARK!
Routes: Short Minus & Short: 10 & 15 mile loops of the upper bay.
Late coffee stop at PANERA BREAD @ 11 mile mark
10 mile Short Minus skips the coffee stop & a couple of hills
to get there...
Both routes go by the Muth Interpretive Center that opens at 10
- so plan to stop & take a visit!

Bring a cell phone & nurture your friends and family -
there is no SAG or support included (You get what you pay for
here!)
Carry your own snacks or cash for same; Plan to stop at a coffee
house if you wish;
but the different routes may NOT all stop at the same place, so
carry your own cash...
and if the long route even makes it to the BCI hosted food stop,
please drop a $5 donation there for the refreshments you consume.
It is more fun to ride with friends,
so please plan to START as a groups at 9am,
Alow time to park, get your bike prepped & assemble for the
9am starting call.
We will open the parking area at
7:30 - have a sign in sheet & route sheets ready by 8:30
and start those ready to go at 9. If you start a bit later that
will be fine too:
The rides will go out the same way down PCH... so we will start
he long ride fiirst to clear the road,
wait a bit for the signals on Jamboree to clear, then start the
Medium and then again start the Short ride.
Even the short ride will do a little bit of rolly hills; You will
all go up Jambree to PCH,
head South, and peel inland on the routes.
All routes will eventually get to the San Diego Creek & follow
the Back Bay Drive back to the start.
Leaving at 9 should give you time
to get through Corona del Mar
& Laguna Beach before 10 or so..
and inland before the sun comes out.
By noon it will have burned off and can get really hot,
so be prepared with sun screen & make plenty of water stops!
When you get back to the start,
plan to enjoy the day:
Pack some cold drinks, snacks or a picnic lunch if you are not
going to be riding all day...
A change of clothes & shoes, jacket for later & lawn chair
for after the ride is recommended.
Hang out and enjoy the Upper Bay Celebration and learning activities
as you wait for the rest of your frinds to roll in...
If you are going out in a canoe or kayak, or just want to even
out your biker tan,
you might want to bring a bathing suit & towel as well!
So... Ride REGISTRATION?
JUST SHOW UP BY 8:45 to sign in!
BCI Members and Guests and anyone else are welcome! (just please
