DETOUR ON 30 MILE ROUTE TODAY
There is 1/2 mile of construction zone on Lagna Canyon.
It is a segment wher ethere is no shoulder, concrete bariers adn you must take the lane. You can ‘time the light’ to follow a platoon of traffic and ride downhill before the next platoon of traffic catches up with you.
To avoid it, take the SHORT CUT route, or the detour:
Pavona Sidewalk & Romano sidewalk to Lake Forest Road to Moulton to El Toro Road. The construction is at mile 8.4 but to detour, you must cross the 133 @ mile 4.5.
The DETOUR WILL ADD 2.5 MILES to today’s ride.

This DETOUR will be offered until the construction work is completed by Caltrans.

CicLAvia - Meet the Hollywoods

Ready for urban Adventure!?

Take Metrolink to Los Angeles, Ride USBR 66 4.5 miles to the East end of the CicLAvia event, Ride all the way across East and West Hollywood & back enjoying the street festival that is a CicLAvia, then ride the 4.5 miles back to Union Station past China Town and Olvera Street to catch the metrolink back to OC.

Board OC 661 from your nearest station…
Meet onboard the OC 661 train to Los Angeles;
gather in front of Union Station at 10:45

The Train up
Sunday Metrolink options: Fare is the regular $10 day pass
(less for seniors 65+,
but only if boarding at Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim etc… )
OC661 stops in Irvine at 9:21 - Tustin at 9:28 - Union Station at 10:34
later:
OC665 stops in Irvine at 12:22 - Tustin at 12:29 - Union Station at 1:34

The Route
Gather at the front of Union Station and
ride to the CicLAvia together to get there in about 1/2 hour
Route Slip 22.1 miles, +746 ft CF3 (23.8’/m)
Ride withGPS Map / profile
4 1/2 miles from the train station to the CicLAvia - route follows USBR 66 most of the way, but this is Los Angeles road conditions. We will keep the pace to stay together and be most visible in traffic.

The green line is the CicLAvia, The red line is our on street route. The pink highlighted line is USBR 66

The CicLAvia
Streets closed 9 to 4
Just over 13 miles of street party, fun, distractions and dismounting as needed… It will be hard to enjoy it all & get back for the 2pm train…everyone is on their own to scatter or stay together in the crowd, just don’t miss the last train out at 4:27: Plan to get line up to board that last train by 4 as it could be very full !

Alternate Route Back to train
Route Slip 22 miles, +708 ft CF3 (32.2’/m) (Less CicLAvia and more USBR 66)
Ride withGPS Map / profile

Faster return on USBR 66
Instead of doing all of the CicLAvia both: May be faster - but local traffic may be worse due to the closures…
The green line is the CicLAvia, The red line is our on street route.
The pink highlighted line is USBR 66. The blue line is the on-street alternate way back if you are worried about missing the train or want to catch the 2pm train.

The Trains back:
Sunday Metrolink options:
664 leaves Union Station 2:00 - to Tustin at 3:01 - Irvine at 3:09
668 leaves Union Station 4:27 - to Tustin at 5:28 - Irvine at 5:36 LAST TRAIN

Mammoth Gran Fondo Remote Get-Away

A significant number of BCI Riders signed up to attend last year so we are making this an official remote ride!
Most are heading up on Thursday to get an extra night sleeping at elevation, then participating in the Friday acclimation rides to get used to riding at altitude, then riding on the Gran Fondo or Medio or Piccolo on Saturday and celebrating / recovering the night to head home Sunday.
The rides on Saturday are the Gran Fondo: 102 miles, Medio: 70 miles and Piccolo: 42 miles
If you typically do BCI’s medium rides, you’ll probably want to do the “Piccolo”.
For all the information,
see the post in PaceLines

2024 BCI BBQ

  • Turtle Rock Park (Upper parking lot off TR Drive) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

BCI kicks off Summer 2024 with a BBQ/picnic following the Sizzling Summer Remote Rides.

Ride Start & End near picnic area:
Upper lot of Turtle Rock Park off Turtle Rock Drive

Burgers will be ready around the time you return from your ride, 11:30ish - until about 1:30p.m. Lunch includes a burger, chips, watermelon, cookie and a drink.
$10 includes food and also paying the City of Irvine to allow a group picnic.

Food ‘issues’? Missed the deadline?
Opt to bring your own picnic lunch and leave it in your car for after the ride.


We do have a couple of extra’s available - contact bill@nbikeirvine and we will see what we can do…

BURGER CHOICES:
Beef, Turkey or Veggie ($10) with or without cheese!

*All food supplies will be purchased based on orders submitted by the 19th.
[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.]

Reminder: Consumption of alcohol beverages is not permitted on city property.

Tuesday Rides (#T21)

Ride Start: University Park
Please park on streets & gather at building

ROUTE SLIPS: Tu21 Irvine (1/22/24)
The Olive Grove Café on Burt/Progress, west of Sand Canyon

29.9 miles (14.9) +/-687 ft {CF 2 22.9’/m}
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41602018

> Detail of Mile 10-17 (Both Routes)

> Detail of Mile 17-24 (full 30)

25* miles (14.9) +/-522ft {CF 2 20.9’/m}
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41602046
(Skips some of Spectrum, Thomas, Rockfield, Bake and upper SD Creek on return)

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.

Please share feedback suggestions & comments on this, or any BCI Ride with our Ride Coordinator.

Guest Speaker / Program: The Importance of Bicycle Fit
Kristen Lawrence
of Pure Ride Cycles in Lake Forest will present the basics and finer points of fitting a bicycle to a rider. Frame size, seat height, seat angle, reach, stem length, knee position over pedals, cleat adjustment, bar angle and height, even the angle of brake hoods can make a ride more comfortable, more efficient and avoid injury. Kristen is a legendary bike fitter and will take us from the basics to finer points of fitting, sharing her countless fits from selling bicycles to new riders to the individualized professional fitting she offers.

There will be a raffle and refreshments - please come on down!

You can take the train to Oceanside this week for free with a bicycle, and ride to the visitor center to get a pass for Saturday…

Ride of Silence

Join us for the Ride of Silence on Wednesday, May 15th as we honor the cyclists injured and lives lost on public roadways. It will be a solemn group ride intended to bring community together, remember, reflect, and heal.

We will gather at the Bicycle Tree at 6:30 pm to roll out at 7:00 pm.

We ask that participants ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road, and remain silent during the ride.

Note that the Bicycle Tree will be closing one hour early at 6:00 pm for this event.

The Bicycle Tree is listed as one of BCI’s Sponsors and a great place to donate or find parts, accessories and bicycles.
