DETOUR ON MEDIUM ROUTE TODAY
There is 1/2 mile of construction zone on Lagna Canyon.
You can ride if but may want to avoid it…
As of June 2023 the conditions have improved and the construction barriers have been set back and there is a narrow shoulder along the road so the routes medium route is reasonably safe now. If you want to avoid it, there are options:
To avoid it, take the LONG to Mile 20.3 - it goes down El Toro Road avoiding the construction zone and adds 3.2 miles.
Both routes are then the same all the way to mile 20.3 where LONG turns up Newport Coast, and MEDIUM continues on PCH to Poppy.
You can also just use the MEDIUM route, or take this DETOUR:
Pavona Sidewalk & Romano sidewalk to Lake Forest Road to Moulton to El Toro Road. The construction is at mile 8.5 but to detour, you must cross the 133 @ mile 4.6. The DETOUR WILL ADD 2.5 MILES to today’s ride. Map/Profile/.tcx
This DETOUR will be offered until the construction work is completed by Caltrans.
(perhaps as late as Spring of 2025)
