This week’s ride is an out-and-back, so you can shoot out ahead or do your turnaround at any point. Those who sprint ahead can get in some extra miles. Those who desire a shorter ride can pause and relax until the 15-milers get back. Very flexible.

Another way to modify the ride is to meet us at Windrow Athletic Park, but be sure to let us know so we can look for you.

This is a nice flat ride up the Harvard Side Path, and then connecting with the San Diego Creek Trail. We will follow the Creek Trail all the way to Los Olivos Park. This ride is a flat out and back. There is a restroom at Los Olivos Park

Helmets are mandatory for all rides. We will be observing standard bicycle safety rules, and the host will do a short safety speech before we ride.
