=========
Several Folks always short cut & start from San Clemente:
Get your bags on the truck in IRVINE & get signed in -
then DRIVE to San Clemente
& find a place to legally park overnight -
then ride to Carls Jr to meet others
& start the ride there together

Best Bet: Park at the MetroLink Depot at the North end of town
visit the Urban Bicycle Outfitters / OCBC Headquarters & start with
the flat dirt path Beach Trail to San Clemente State Beach
(you will have to slow down & walk a few parts, and climb
up Ave Califia up to the highway near the East end of town,
but great beach views & NO CITY TRAFFIC ! )

==========
CARRY ID (Drivers License & Emergency Contact!):
No ID and the Marines can say no at the gate
& you will have to ride the FREEWAY
=========
SB Train Options:

You can bail out & catch a train from
San Clemente to Oceanside (MetroLink & AmTrak)
The Coaster runs at 1:45 & 4:33 from
Oceanside to the Carlsbad Poinsettia station
only 3/4 mile from the motel...
=========

RideWithGPS.com/routes/459802

You will find the Truck back at the start
when you get back to Irvine
UNTIL 3 PM - After that -
your bags will be left in a pile in the parking lot...
so DO NOT go home for a shower & a nap
before you return to the truck!
=========

The Coaster still does not run Sundays,
so you will need to ride at least to Oceanside;
There you can get MetroLink & AmTrak North...
