SATURDAY
Ri

Mike's Trailer won't get to the start before 8;
Park, load your gear & get signed in AFTER 8
Routes details & review at 8:50 for MASS Ride Start at 9 AM
=========
Several Folks always short cut & start from San Clemente:
Get your bags on the truck @ the station & get signed in
 see the group off at 9 and then DRIVE to San Clemente
& find a place to legally park overnight -
then ride to Carls Jr to meet others
& join the Tour there to ride San Onofre together

Best Bet: Park near or at the Metrolink station at the North end of town
visit the Urban Bicycle Outfitters / OCBC Headquarters & start with
the posted Bike Route through town as detailed on the route sheet
or option 3: the Beach Trail to San Clemente State Beach
(you will have to slow down & walk a few parts, and climb
up Ave Califia 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:
(but no guarantee they will allow your bike)
You can catch Amtrak to Oceanside from
Laguna Niguel (LNL) @ 9:40 for $15
San Juan Capistrano (SNC) @ 9:46 or 10:57 for $14 or
San Clemente Pier (SNP) @ 9:57 or 11:08 for $11 to Oceanside (OSD)
MetroLink does not show any SB trains to Oceanside until after 5pm
=========

For those who can't join the tour from Laguna Niguel,
several loops have been plotted from the Hotel. The Loop Route Sheets includes:
The 'Tail of the Tour' 21.5 mile loop will enjoy the northbound Tour route descent to Carlsbad past Linda's Ice Cream where the Tourists traditionally reload, and then take the Saturday route back to the Hotel. You can continue up the coast toward Oceanside and u-turn on your own to add miles, or to join the Tourists you see rolling south. 21.5 miles or more... RideWithGPS.com/routes/1055427  
If you want to explore more of San Marcos, 3 alternate routes have been plotted;
Saturday a 36 mile loop to Lake Hodges: RideWithGPS.com/routes/1271929
with a 30 mile short cut version: RideWithGPS.com/routes/1271789.
For Sunday a 26 mile loop is offered: RideWithGPS.com/routes/1314539
Loop Route Sheets will be available at the Hotel Lobby; Several plan to ride at 9:30 Saturday
So if you can't spend the night, sign up anyway; you can drive to the hotel, ride a loop,
or the 'Tail of the Tour' as far north as you want to find the Tourists heading south,
and stay for dinner!
