Bike Ride for TriLaVie Members

Bike Ride for TriLaVie Members: Team ride in an amazing SoCal location to enjoy longer cycling, great scenery and a popular, safe route that combines road and paths.

This ride is for TriLaVie Members ONLY and is a group ride to gain distance at moderate-to-easy pacing.  Please do not invite non-team members to join us as it often compromises the safety and enjoyment of the group.  Thank you!

This ride is a combination of busy road, paved trail, beach parking lot (no kidding!), and through Camp Pendleton Marine Base.  There is a Mud Run this morning, so the base will be busy with traffic.  Experienced riders with 30+ miles only through the Camp.  Must have license to enter.

AGENDA:

• Ready to ride at 7am sharp, please.  We need to review pace groups and route.
• Pace groups will consist of riders from 18mph - 13 mph, but with at least 15 miles of riding experience on a road bike or appropriate hybrid.  (If you have a cruiser, check with Martha to see if we can pair you with a ride buddy for safety and accountability).
• Ride San Clemente - San Onofre - Las Pulgas - Camp Pendelton
• Turn around at designated mileage for your training goals and fitness.

ROUTE and WIND ADVISORY:

This route can be deceiving!  It has rolling hills and lots of sections with flat road.  However, it can get windy and that will slow you down substantially.  If you are unsure about your fitness for a distance, go less.  If you still feel good and have time at the end of your ride, feel free to continue!

BRING:

• Water - at least 2 bottles for the bike, but be sure to start well-hydrated.
• Fuel - bring 100-200 calories/hour mixed in your bottles.  Gels are only in case of a longer, unexpected ride or to give to an unprepared rider (hey... at least you'll get to ride well!)
• Electrolytes - a product with 200-500 milligrams of sodium per hour, or capsules to supplement.
• Bike, HELMET, bike shoes, bike clothes,sunglasses, gloves, fluid/fuel/electrolytes, etc.

RSVP:

• Please RSVP with ride distance goal, your average pace for a long ride.
• Pace! Not sure of your pace? Calculate from your last race or estimate from your training!
