Thanksgiving Day Rides
11/23/10 - We have put together a list of some of SoCal's favorite Turkey Day Rides that will help you burn some extra calories and enjoy the day with your cycling friends. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Mount Baldy to San Dimas Mountain Bike Ride - The ride starts at the Cow Canyon Saddle (near where GMR and Baldy Road meet) at 8 am, then gathers at another saddle 2 miles up for a brief Thanksgiving celebration. The ride then "flys" down the Sunset Ridge and regroups at the bottom, at the top of Wheeler in San Dimas. Some riders ride up the Sunset Ridge trail from the top of Wheeler or ride up Mt. Baldy Road and meet up there, but most drive up, and are picked up at the bottom.
Velo Allegro Ride - The Velo Allegro Ride rides from Long Beach to Whittier, then screams back to Long Beach in long time tradition! The ride starts at 7:30 at the Marina parking lot near PCH and 2nd Street in Long Beach and has 2 rest stops. The ride returns at approximately 11:30 am.
59th Annual M*G*E Racing/SDBC Turkey Ride & Hunt - The San Diego Bicycle Club and Ralph Elliott, organize the 58th Annual M*G*E Racing/SDBC Turkey Ride & Hunt to Elfin Forest on Thanksgiving Day; 60 miles, No fee, No patch, No sag, just a good "old fashion fun ride"- and a great way to get ready to pig- out later in the day! The ride starts at 8:30am sharp from the La Jolla Village Square, UC Cyclery, Nobel Dr. off the I-5, and goes up the coast highway to La Costa, thru Elfin Forest, into Escondido, and back over Lake Hoges, RB, Poway, and Miramar Rd to Finish at UC Cyclery. Please ride safely, obey all traffic laws and never more than "two on a breast!" The object is to hunt turkeys, not be one! Happy Thanksgiving!
