THE BIKE TOUR

A new route. On this ride you will see Pirates, Cowboys & Indians, you will ride all the way across the USA, find out why ‘The Wedge’ turned John Wayne to acting and go places you’ve never been. Really!

NOT a ‘pack ride’ on PCH but keeping to trails and side streets. Beach cruise, spin hard or both. Great for first timers and plan for 2 hours and 12 miles. We leave Bayside shopping center and climb Newport Heights – Hoag Ridge for amazing views. We drop down to the to a neighborhood route to the Boardwalk and then to the end of Newport Peninsula and ‘The Wedge’. Then across on the ferry to Balboa Island and back to the start.

We plan the ride you bring the enthusiasm. A few hills and one hill that beach cruisers will walk but primarily flat. You will get exercise and it’s a nice day for a walk too!

Have fun, meet like-minded people, be safe and enjoy the beauty of where we live.

The mandate is Be Safe and Have Fun. No one gets left behind. Open for all levels. The ride stays away from cars and on paths as much as possible. The Ferry is $1.25 each way – Cash Only.

THE HIKE

May be led by an experienced race walker, Hikers will cross the bridge to Balboa Island and hike the outer walkway of the Island to the Ferry. Hikers will take the Ferry to Newport Peninsula and then proceed to the boardwalk and the ocean. At the turnaround point Hikers will come back to the Ferry and Hike the rest of the Balboa Island outer walkway back to the start. Plan on 2 Hours. The Ferry is $1.00 each way – Cash Only.
