Saturday Morning Rides are the best way to be introduced to BCI club rides and to our members. We offer routes to accommodate riders of various skill levels, climbing abilities and pace. All routes share a common food stop where you can refresh yourself, grab a bite to eat, and socialize with other riders.

Ride start at 9:00 a.m. at Deerfield Park in Irvine.

Three routes are offered:  

  • The short route is usually 10-15 miles, reasonably flat, with the break at the 7-8 mile point.
  • The medium route, 25-35 miles, is usually reasonably flat with one or more hills added to give you a little challenge.
  • The long route, 35-45 miles, is the most challenging with more hills and a faster pace.

s1On the blue ride the turn form Jamboree to Bryan is very hard to make and I feel dangerous as you have to cross 4 lanes of traffic to get to the left turn lane. A better alternative would be to continue on Tustin Ranch until you get to Bryan and then make the left turn. Ian Database Updated as suggested

l1Long ride includes the Dan Crain gore point where traffic merges at high speed from the right onto Newport Coast; Might want to add a warning on the route slip to caution riders to be extra careful keeping their lane or moving right across the `on ramp` merging lane... PS: Nice feature being able to add comments here Jim! BillDatabase Updated
