About the Ride: The ride travels up the coast along the bike paths until they end. Then the group go on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and pick a canyon to climb up. There is a lot of car traffic on the highway; so, if you are afraid of car traffic you might want to avoid most of Los Angeles. The climbs are pretty tough, but there are some who only stay on the highway (mostly flat.) During the California winter the ride is slow, but during the summer expect race pace.

Additional Notes: Sometimes the group leaves up to ten minutes late, but I like to get there about 5 minutes early just in case. If you are a coffee drinker, and don’t mind paying a few bucks for a cup, then get there about ten to fifteen minutes early. Starbucks Coffee shop is consistently busy.

About the climbs… try to listen in or introduce yourself so you can get in on the climbing situation. It will not be announced. Make sure you have someone to go back with, because riding alone on PCH isn’t fun if you’re not used to heavy and fast auto traffic.
