Note:  You must register in advance for this ride- registration closes at noon on Thursday before the ride.  There is no late registration or day-of-event registration.  You must be a member of both PCH Randonneurs and RUSA in order to register. 

This is flat 300K brevet that is almost entirely on paved bicycle paths, with short sections on the road in Norco, and on the Pacific Coast Highway.  This is a late season opportunity to improve your pre-registration priority for PBP next year. It is also good training ride due to the consistent headwinds for at least half of the ride. 
 
We start at the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach and head up the Santa Ana River Trail to Riverside and head back to the beach the same way. From there we ride up the coast to Seal Beach and up San Gabriel River a few miles to the turnaround. We then retrace the route back down the SGRT and the beach to the Balboa Pier.
 

Parking: Parking is available in the City Lot at the pier,   $1.90 per hour - $29.00 daily rate.  Free on-street parking is available on Balboa Blvd and the residential streets on either side of it once you get a few blocks away from the pier (North/West of Cypress, or South/East of B Street). See parking map.

Expect headwinds all the way down the Santa Ana River Trail and up to Seal Beach. The prevailing winds usually mean a tailwind back to the Balboa Pier!
 
Stacy and Greg will provide food and good cheer at the end of the ride.
 
This is a randonneuring ride, self-sufficiency is expected and camaraderie is encouraged. There is no SAG vehicle. Riders should plan on obtaining their own water and food on the course. 
 
Full lights and reflective gear are required- we will be checking everyone at the start.
No riders at this time
