ROUTE SLIPS: Tu21 w/ DETOUR Irvine (9/30/24)

30.1 miles (14.9) +689 ft {CF 2 22.9 ’/m}
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48627996
> Detail: Mile 17-24 WITH DETOUR (full 30)

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41602046
(Skips some of Spectrum, Thomas, Rockfield, Bake and upper SD Creek on return
NOT impacted by the closure so no detour)
Savvy Tips for Route 21:
The full route takes Bake across the 405 freeway...
Even though Bake is a Class II bikeway, Irvine and Caltrans have failed to paint any of the Complete Streets tools, and allows both right lanes to enter the freeway at two high speed entrances. Mile 19.7 to 20.3 can be a very stressful 1/2 mile.
Even though posted at 50 MPH, motorists speed on Bake, and they accelerate as they merge into the high speed entrances, making it critical for cyclists to assert their lane position early to be seen and safely cross the freeway.
You can’t signal and hope to be let over, you need to time your merge and be assertive.
Rockfield to Bake: @Mile 19.7
• Pause on Rockfield to regroup; several cyclists together have an advantage to be seen and control any lane. Pausing also lets you time the signal so less traffic is coming down Bake behind you as you merge into the road.
• Merge out of the narrowing #4 lane as soon as possible to control the #3 lane.
There is no room to ride the gutter & share the #4 lane with passing vehicles.
Clear the #4 RTOL: take & Control the #3 lane or take the sidewalk.
If you don’t feel safe merging over, use a driveway to get onto the sidewalk.
Bake to 405 NB entrance: Mile 19.9
• If you are already controlling the #3 lane, motorists heading for the freeway will pass on the right in the #4 RTOL. Those going straight can merge and pass you in the #1 or #2 lanes on your left.
• If you try to control the #4 RTOL you will have speeding motorist passing and entering the freeway across you from the #3 combo lane, and will be unable to merge over to control the #3 lane. Just stay right and use the shoulder.
• If you make it to the shoulder or ride the sidewalk, watch out at the crosswalk. If one lane stops for you the second lane may not.
Controlling the #3 combo lane really is safest.
BAKE to 405 SB entrance: Mile 20.3
• There is an unmarked bike lane over the bridge, but merge back out to control the #3 combo lane as early as possible, well before the bike lane ends for a RTOL.
• If you make it to the shoulder after the bike lane ends or ride the sidewalk, watch out at the crosswalk. If one lane stops for you the second lane may not.
• Past the exit, everyone can get together in the bike lane at mile 20.4.

Special dietary issues? Opt to bring your own picnic lunch (free).
BURGER CHOICES:
Beef, Turkey or Veggie ($10) with or without cheese!

[OK, so we could have a few extra burgers if we don’t burn or drop too many through the grill and if you show up last minute, then you could get lucky but no promises. Expect to settle up ($10) with BCI at a later date.]

Several years ago many BCI Members joined a great cycling trip to Italy - Squadra (Team) Dory is returning to Italy this October!
You're invited to share: a week of delicious food, fun and some great cycling with friends. We've found that early fall offers the best weather of the year, is reasonably priced and crowd free.
If you've never been to Italy, the best way to experience it is on a bicycle while staying at one of Riccione's premier cycling resorts.
Your hosts for the fall tour are the Buescher brothers, Steve & John
and Richard Sheff, who returns as the tour's, Directeur Sportif.
All the specifics you'll need to plan for next fall's tour will be available soon. If you have a friend who may be interested in becoming part of the Squadra Dory tour, let us know and we will add them to our distribution list.

I'm beyond ecstatic to invite you to my Irvine Bike Listening Session! Please join us to learn about plans for the bicycle maintenance center at Irvine Transportation Station.
This all-in-one facility will include bike repairs, education, trading, and more!
We will also be discussing plans for a citywide bike share system and installing secure bike lockers to support the growth in active transportation in the City of Irvine.
This listening session is a prime opportunity to receive updates from Irvine Public Works on the Sustainable Mobility Plan, which includes the construction of protected bike lanes, and have an open discussion on all Irvine biking and active transportation infrastructure.
This project is extremely important to me, and I would appreciate your support and feedback.
See you there!

at the Irvine Ranch Water District’s
Community Meeting Room.
The public is welcome.
6:30 PM: Social Time with food and refreshments
7:00 PM: Presentation with guest speakers Kevin & Ximena Ansel
Topic: Bicycle Tour from Seattle to Boston
Kevin, Ximena, and their friend Joe, toured across the country in 2022. They biked through Northern Cascades National Park, Glacier, Yellowstone, Devils Tower, Mt. Rushmore, the plains of South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. They traveled through Michigan, Ontario, Canada, then into Buffalo, New York, and rode 360 miles on the Erie Canal Trail to Massachusetts. The sights, the beauty, and the people of America made this trip unforgettable. They look forward to sharing their adventure with BCI.
Bio:
Kevin and Ximena Ansel have been bicycle touring together for 28 years. A few of their 47 tours include riding the Trans America route, the West Coast from Vancouver, Canada to the U.S.-Mexican border, the GAP & CO trail, a trip over the Rocky Mountains, tours in Oregon, the South West, Canada, and France. They both love the outdoors and have completed backpacking trips in the Grand Tetons, Sierras, and the Grand Canyon. They have also helped in a cattle drive moving 400 head of cattle from their summer grasslands to their winter pastures. Information about their trips can be found on their Blog: http://www.AnselAdventures.com
There will be a raffle and refreshments - please come on down!

Our “NewB” rides are geared for new riders, riders with some experience, and riders who may have never ridden in a club atmosphere. We will do a modified version of the scheduled Saturday short ride, adding as much off-street bike path as available... like taking the San Diego Creek Trail instead of all of ALTON )
Intended for adults -
but re-experience the joy!

NOTE: On the Long Route, at mile 8.4, for a short stretch (6/10 mile) we are in the construction zone ‘gauntlet’ between the 73 Toll Road signal and the El Toro Signal. No shoulder - take & control the travel lane. If we time the signal - group up and wait for all the tailgating racing motorists to go by, then follow in the empty road with the red light holding up the next wave, it’s not hard to make it downhill to the left turn lane at El Toro before the next platoon comes up behind - and when in the lane, the first motorist should see us and slow down as they come up behind us…
To avoid the construction zone, turn left at Mile 5 onto Lake Forest (there IS a bike button to get a green light to make a box-turn left) and turn right on < ICD / Moulton > and you can miss the majority of the Laguna Canyon and all of El Toro Road…
