Ride Start: Deerfield Park at 8:30
Several BCI members have been getting together for mid-week long distance training rides. The group have been picking favorite weekend Long & Long Plus routes, along with some of the old Sunday Sufferfest and Bear and Onyx training rides from our Ride Banks. The pace is friendly, a bit slower (not race or electrified speeds) and they regroup for support and to share the challenges.

DETOUR ON LONG ROUTE TODAY
There is 1/2 mile of construction on Lagna Canyon.
The northbound lane is free of construction but has no shoulder so you will be riding IN the travel lane. Control it to avoid unsafe passing (don’t ride on the edge) To avoid it, you can take the SHORT or MEDIUM, or use the detour: Turn right onto El Toro Road to Moulton to Lake Forest to Romano & Pavona Sidewalks.
The construction is at mile 22.8. The Detour will get you back on route at mile 27.2. 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 at this location by Caltrans.

Please share feedback suggestions & comments on this, or any BCI Ride with our Ride Coordinator.
Guests are welcome, but minors (<18) may only ride under the direct supervision of an adult guardian.
