Old Highway Bike Path

Ride along the beach through Doheny, Capistrano Beach, San Clemente, San Onofre, Camp Pendleton to Oceanside Harbor !
We start in Dana Point Harbor AT 9AM not 8:00 (Glitch), ride down the coast as far as you want, then RIDE back !
The Short route turns back at the County Line,
Long turns back at Las Pulgas (or sooner for less miles).
The Long Plus goes all the way down & back “EFI”.

The ride starts at the foot of the pier at the west end of Dana Point Harbor Drive in Dana Point.  Park in either of the lots at the end across from each other, the one closest to the pier, or the other directly across the street. 
The Dana Point Festival of Whales is also happening this weekend so parking may be tough; park where you can and RIDE to the pier!  
Map Link to ride start  W3W:finds.graphic.sentences DO NOT PARK in the Ocean Institute parking lot.
We will gather at the foot of the Pier & roll out as a club at 9. There are restrooms at the start.

Since we are at war, the USMC is on alert and no civilian bike pass is being issued or honored at this time - so on base options will not be available until peace is restored.
IF you have military access or have a Base Bike Pass you USUALLY MAY take the base bike route through the base between Las Pulgas and Harbor instead of the freeway shoulder...
ON BASE ROUTE SLIPS <= BASE PASS
USUALLY REQUIRED BUT NOT HONORED THIS WEEK

After-ride treat at Dana Point Harbor - We used to stop at the Scoop Deck inside Coffee Importers for a great ice cream… but they have MOVED and ar enow serving only limited ice cream and close at 3pm.
They open at 7, so you can get a bagel & joe before the ride! coffeeimporters.com
