Group Anniversary Ride + Lunch

Come celebrate our Meetup group’s 16th Anniversary! First, we'll ride from the Irvine Duck Pond around Irvine for 18 miles. Then we’ll have lunch together at a nearby restaurant.

Route Map can be found here:

There is a bit of elevation to contend with so look carefully at the route map.

Bring your bike with inflated tires, spare tubes and an air source, helmet, gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen, water/snack, and a cell phone. Your bike should have gears and should be of the “road" or “hybrid" variety. If you have an e-bike, please familiarize yourself with the rules of the area in which we are riding to see if your bike is allowed on this trail before signing up.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time so we can push off shortly thereafter.

NOTE: Be familiar with your bike and its controls before signing up. We ride at an average speed of 10 mph as this is the posted speed limit on much of the bike trail. On streets and on downhills, we can (and will!) go faster. While we will make every attempt to stay together, if you cannot keep at this pace, it would be a good idea to practice riding on your own a bit before joining us. That said, this is NOT a competitive riding group. We ride recreationally with the goal of getting a decent amount of exercise.

Please state in the comments if you’re planning on joining just for the ride, just for the lunch, or both. Hope you can join us to celebrate!
