Heat Wave Alternate: Yes - we just did #06 but it will be too hot this week to use #07 so …
On really hot days, TU06 is offered as an alternate choice, heading toward the coast and closer to the beach. If the scheduled rotation ride heads inland into the heat, members might want to ride this alternate, (or leave early before the regular start, or stay off the road or do their own ride… )
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.
Many gather for lunch after the ride at the local shopping center.
