Details:
This ride departs at 10am. We’re riding together as a group, but on the beach, everyone can ride at his/her own pace; no one will get dropped, we re-group before exiting the beach where we pick up trails and back roads. Most of the ride is on sand and dirt. It is great fun on big tires on the sand. There are roads and trails connecting the beaches so be ready for both pavement and sand.
It’ll be windier on the sand, so be sure to dress warmer than the weather forecast predicts numerically.
Schedule: We’ll be at the meeting spot by 9:45am. Please be ready to roll by 9:55am.
Parking: There is free, ample on-street parking next to the start.
Route: The route will be shared via email with all who RSVP.

Ride Notes: We discuss these with you prior to rollout. There will be beachy sand and paved roads to connect various sections. It’s all appropriate for 3.5” tires or bigger. We can’t speak to the exact quality of the sand for those of you who want to ride skinnier tires and we can’t recommend anything narrower than 3.5”.
