Coast South + 56 Bike Path - inland return

This Saturday we will be returning to a favorite - riding south on the coast from Carlsbad, we'll had inland on the 56 Bike Path, and return through Rancho Santa Fe with some meandering through the Carlsbad neighborhoods. The C route will follow the coast down to the 56 bike path, but will exit on one of the first exits to Carmel Country Road, adding a small hill challenge to the ride before looping around and returning via the coast to Carlsbad.

A and B routes:
44 miles, ~2800 ft climbing

Depending on numbers, this may be two groups. There are options for lengthening the ride, depending on interest.

C route:
35 miles, ~1500 ft climbing

These routes are definitely much less hilly than less week but still scenic with just the right level of challenge.

NOTES: Please bring an extra tube, CO2 cartridge or hand pump, and enough fluid and snacks (suggestion: two bottles minimum for the longer rides, and two snacks). Helmets are always required, and we obey all traffic laws.

Our rides are no drop, and we make every effort to find the right group for you. There are three group leaders, with the following general average speed guidelines on mixed terrain:

A Group: 16-18 mph
B Group: 14-16 mph
C Group: 12-14 mph
