Rancho Del Oro – B/C/D Groups


Event Details


  PLEASE READ THIS ABOUT ALL OUR RIDES:  Health guidelines are in place for group activities and are ever-changing. Cyclists who join our rides should be aware of these guidelines and be prepared to follow them:

  • We wear face coverings before and after rides or when less than 6 feet apart, even if we are vaccinated
  • We ride in pods of 12 or less based on anticipated average speed, each pod departing a few minutes apart, with the fastest pod leaving first
  • Each cyclist is responsible for following health and cycling safety guidelines, and for following road rules and traffic laws

At this time, there are no designated ride leaders. If at any time you don’t feel safe while riding, please feel empowered to leave the pod.

This Saturday, we head north to Rancho del Oro in Oceanside via Avocado Rd. and Fire Mountain. We return through Vista and then head back south on the coast. The rest stop is the Chevron station on Hacienda, right before Melrose.

The route is 44 miles/2,677′
