Ken Trotman pre-booked rooms at La Quinta Inn under Bicycle Club of Irvine, folio #305684, phone #805-239-3004. They held the rooms until 9-12-16 for you to call in & confirm on your own credit. They may still be available if you call. We had a 20 room block: 12 double queens and 8 kings with a pull-out sleeper couch. Full hot breakfast is included in the rate. $105 on Thursday and $175 each on Friday and Saturday.  People can certainly stay in other locations, or stay for fewer nights, but we'll start the rides from there.

Itinerary:
Arrive Thursday afternoon to check into the hotel. Dinner on your own.

Friday morning rides: One about 40 miles, another 45-50 miles (same general route -- just some extensions).

Friday afternoon: Can arrange for olive oil tasting or see about doing a BBQ at one of the wineries. If we do the olive oil tasting then we'll find a place to have dinner that evening (maybe at San Antonio winery across the street). Typically these dinners will run about $30.

Saturday morning rides: We'll have two choices-- a shorter ride (~40 miles) that will take us for a stop at the Templeton Farmer's Market or a longer more challenging ride with climbs.

Saturday late afternoon: Halloween Costume party at local home - requires a costume of some sort; let's have fun! - horseshoes, bocce, beer/wine and dinner. An additional cost will be figured out by mid October...

Sunday morning: shorter ride so folks can get back, cleaned up and checked out of their hotel (we'll see about arranging late check-out). If anyone wants a longer ride, we can provide cue sheets so they can do that on their own.

RSVP: Please book your own room & send name & best phone number, where you are staying & which days you will b e there to our Membership Director, Monica McCarthy at Membership@BikeIrvine.org
