DETOUR ON MEDIUM ROUTE TODAY
There is 1/2 mile of construction on Laguna Canyon.
Opt 1: You can ride it if you “time” the traffic platoon & control the single lane when the next platoon comes up from behind, or you may want to avoid it…

Opt 2: You can also just use the MEDIUM route, but 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 (to skip the 1/2 mile of stress). Map/Profile/.tcx This DETOUR will be offered until the construction work is completed by Caltrans. (perhaps as late as Spring of 2025)

Opt 3: To avoid it, take the LONG to Mile 20.3 - it goes down El Toro Road completely avoiding the construction zone and adds 3.2 miles. (to skip 1/2 mile of stress)
Both routes are then the same all the way to mile 20.3 where the LONG turns up Newport Coast, and MEDIUM continues on PCH to Poppy.
