Membership Meet

On a scheduled Thursday of every other month
at the Irvine Ranch Water District’s
Community Meeting Room.
The Public is welcome.


6:30 Social Time with food & refreshments
7:00 Presentation

Afterwards, there’ll be a drawing with prizes.

Disclaimer: Irvine Ranch Water District makes its facilities available for use by residents and nonprofit organizations merely as a public service, but does not, by allowing this use, endorse or support the purpose of the event or its sponsor.

Guest Speaker: Keri Caffrey
Topic: Cycling Savvy

“I believe we can transform our traffic culture into one which recognizes that roads are for all people, not just the ones driving cars.”

 CyclingSavvy is the gold standard for traffic cycling education today. Based on decades of research and experience, Keri Caffrey combines active learning with dynamic graphics to teach the principles of Mindful Bicycling:

* Empowerment to act as confident, equal road users;
* Strategies for safe, stress-free integrated cycling;
* Tools to read and problem-solve any traffic situation, bicycle-specific facility, or road design

Keri Caffrey will present some of the safety concepts central to Cycling Savvy to empower you to ride safely anywhere.

Here’s a taste: Spot 14 hazards for the cyclists. Take the quiz and bring your answers to the meeting.

Bio: Keri Caffrey is a technical illustrator and graphic designer with over 30 years of urban cycling experience and a passion for teaching.

Through three decades as a bike commuter and recreational group rider, she observed many close calls and conflicts. Studying the behavior of both cyclists and motorists, she became convinced that the greatest challenge facing American bicycling is a lack of education, coupled with a destructive belief system Americans have developed about our public roads.

Keri’s mission is to correct this problem, and empower individual bicyclists to ride with confidence. Through CyclingSavvy, she and co-founder Mighk Wilson created a toolset for bicyclists to use on their own terms, to enhance their preferred style of riding.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. — Michelangelo


Mark your calendars! Future meeting dates:
Aug 14 - Presentation TBD
Oct. 30 - Annual Meeting, Keynote Speaker: Tony Cruz will share about his bike racing career.

Rushmore, the plains of South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. They traveled through Michigan, Ontario, Canada, then into Buffalo, New York, and rode 360 miles on the Erie Canal Trail to Massachusetts.

A few of their 47 tours include riding the Trans America route, the West Coast from Vancouver, Canada to the U.S.-Mexican border, the GAP & CO trail, a trip over the Rocky Mountains, tours in Oregon, the South West, Canada, and France. They both love the outdoors and have completed backpacking trips in the Grand Tetons, Sierras, and the Grand Canyon. They have also helped in a cattle drive moving 400 head of cattle from their summer grasslands to their winter pastures.

The rides on Saturday are the Gran Fondo: 102 miles, Medio: 70 miles and Piccolo: 42 miles

CicLAvia - Meet the Hollywoods

Ready for an urban Adventure!?

BCI will take Metrolink to Los Angeles, Ride USBR 66 4.5 miles to the East end of the CicLAvia event, ride all the way across East and West Hollywood & back enjoying the street festival that is a CicLAvia, then ride the 4.5 miles back to Union Station past China Town and Olvera Street to catch the metrolink back to OC.

Board OC 661 from your nearest station…
Meet onboard the OC 661 train to Los Angeles;
gather in front of Union Station at 10:45

The Train up
Sunday Metrolink options: Fare is the regular $10 day pass
(less for seniors 65+,
but only if boarding at Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim etc… )
OC661 stops in Irvine at 9:21 - Tustin at 9:28 - Union Station at 10:34
later:
OC665 stops in Irvine at 12:22 - Tustin at 12:29 - Union Station at 1:34

The Route
Gather at the front of Union Station (West entrance) and
ride to the CicLAvia together to get there in about 1/2 hour
Route Slip 22.1 miles, +746 ft CF3 (23.8’/m)
Ride withGPS Map / profile
4 1/2 miles from the train station to the CicLAvia - route follows interstate USBR 66 most of the way, but this is in LA road conditions.
We will keep the pace to stay together and be most visible in traffic.

The green line is the CicLAvia, The red line is our on street route. The pink highlighted line is USBR 66

The CicLAvia
Streets closed 9 to 4
Just over 13 miles of street party, fun, distractions and dismounting as needed… It will be hard to enjoy it all & get back for the 2pm train…everyone is on their own to scatter or stay together in the crowd, just don’t miss the last train out at 4:27: Plan to get lined up to board that last train by 4 as it could be very full !

Alternate Route Back to train
Route Slip 22 miles, +708 ft CF3 (32.2’/m) (Less CicLAvia and more USBR 66)
Ride withGPS Map / profile

Faster return on USBR 66
Instead of doing all of the CicLAvia both: May be faster - but local traffic may be worse due to the closures…
The green line is the CicLAvia, The red line is our on street route.
The pink highlighted line is USBR 66. The blue line is the on-street alternate way back if you are worried about missing the train or want to catch the 2pm train.

The Trains back:
Sunday Metrolink options:
664 leaves Union Station 2:00 - to Tustin at 3:01 - Irvine at 3:09
668 leaves Union Station 4:27 - to Tustin at 5:28 - Irvine at 5:36 LAST TRAIN

Guest Speaker / Program: Stretch Labs of Irvine

At this Thursday's BCI General Meeting, reps from Stretch Labs will describe what they do and demonstrate the process.  

Admit it: we all know stretching is a key element in helping maintain flexibility — and maybe keep your cantankerous body parts from barking too much.  

But we often don’t remember to stretch before or after cycling, do we? Maybe it’s due to time management and the uncertainty of what it is you're doing.

Stretch Labs' one-on-one sessions offer a great solution. A trained “Flexologist” works with you for a hands-on guided and assisted stretch, tailored to your flexibility and using your feedback.

According to several of our members, it really works!

Jersey fitting:
We will have a size sample fitting set there so you can try on before you buy the new 2024 BCI Jersey

There will be a raffle and refreshments - please come on down!

BCI kicks off Summer 2024 with a BBQ/picnic following the Sizzling Summer Remote Rides.

Ride Start & End near picnic area:
Upper lot of Turtle Rock Park off Turtle Rock Drive

Burgers will be ready around the time you return from your ride, 11:30ish - until about 1:30p.m. Lunch includes a burger, chips, watermelon, cookie and a drink.
$10 includes food and also paying the City of Irvine to allow a group picnic.

Food ‘issues’? Missed the deadline?
Opt to bring your own picnic lunch and leave it in your car for after the ride.


We do have a couple of extra’s available - contact bill@nbikeirvine and we will see what we can do…

BURGER CHOICES:
Beef, Turkey or Veggie ($10) with or without cheese!

*All food supplies will be purchased based on orders submitted by the 19th.
[OK, so we could have a few extra burgers if we don’t burn or drop too many through the grill and if you show up last minute, then you could get lucky but no promises. Expect to settle up ($10) with BCI at a later date.]

Reminder: Consumption of alcohol beverages is not permitted on city property.
