Ride Details:
We'll start at Hicks Canyon and enjoy its scenic, paved multi-use trails, with opportunities to explore some of the nearby connecting routes.
The highlight of the ride will be crossing the new Jeffrey Open Space Trail Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge, which officially opened on August 11, 2026. The bridge is nearly 1,200 feet long and 15 feet wide, crossing over I-5, Walnut Avenue, and the Park & Ride area.
The JOST is an exciting addition to Irvine's trail network, helping connect trails that ultimately extend from the Pacific Coast toward the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest.
We'll keep the pace easy to moderate, with stops along the way to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and explore nearby trail sections.
🍜 Lunch After the Ride
After biking, we'll head to Manaao - Thai Comfort Food for lunch. You're welcome to join in.
