Bio

Tony Cruz is a father of 3 wonderful kids, Brandon 33, Alexi 30, and Aidan 22, and has been married to his beautiful wife, Jody Cruz, for 32 years. Cruz grew up in Southern California and began riding roads bikes in 1983. Witnessing both the men's and women's team take gold in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Road Race was a life changing experience for Cruz, and inspired him to start competing. His first team was Raleigh/Velo Club La Grange where Cruz quickly made a name for himself in the So Cal bike racing circuit, and began receiving invitations to attend premier junior camps at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs with the likes of Bobby Julich, George Hincapie, and Lance Armstrong. After taking a 6 year break from the sport to focus on raising a family and pursue a career in pharmacy, Cruz returned to the sport, and from 1996-2000 he became one of the nation's top domestic professional winning a national title in 1999 and the US Road Cycling Olympic Trails in 2000 along the way. He competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games for the US and from there went on the race in the Pro Tour for US Postal Service, Discovery Channel, Toyota United (domestic team) and BMC. A few years after retiring from the sport in 2009, Cruz began working in local city government on a variety of bicycle initiatives and active transportation projects. He is currently the City of Irvine's Mobility Programs Analyst and loves his job and role at the city.

Join us as Tony discusses his days racing as a junior, his club racing experience, and highlights from his Pro Tour racing days. He'll then explore the future of bike racing in America.

Lets do it again!
Ride along the beach though Doheny, Capistrano Beach, San Clemente, San Onofre,
Camp Pendleton to Oceanside Harbor !
We start in Dana Point Harbor, ride down the coast as far as you want, then RIDE back (or take the train from Oceanside part way)! The Short route turns back at the County Line, Medium goes all the way & trains back to San Clemente. Long turns back at the end of San Onofre State Beach for 34.5 miles or turns around at Las Pulgas fo 40 miles. The Long Plus goes all the way down & back for 60 miles.

ROUTE SLIP <= All 4 options - NO BASE PASS… Print & bring along

Short: Dana Pt to Christianitos & back - No Train
19.4 Miles   Map/Elevation

Medium: Dana Point to Oceanside & Train back to San Clemente
35.2 miles Round Trip Map/Elevation down to Oceanside Station
Trains run @ 11:24, 1:28. 2:35 4:28 and 5:23

Long: Dana Pt to Las Pulgas & Back - No Train
40 Miles Round Trip   Map/Elevation
34.5 Miles if you turn back at end of San Onofre State Beach @ Mile 16.4

Long Plus: Dana Pt to Oceanside Harbor - No Train back
60 Miles Round Trip   Map/Elevation

The ride starts at the west end of Dana Point Harbor Drive in Dana Point.  Park in either of the lots at the end across from each other, the one closest to the pier, or the other directly across the street. 
DO NOT PARK in the Ocean Institute parking lot. We will gather at the foot of the Pier & roll out as a club at 9. There are restrooms at the start.   Map Link to ride start  W3W: finds.graphic.sentences

Train to San Clemente: The first train south from Tustin/Irvine (IEOC 857) gets to San Clemente at 9:05 - you can train down and wait for the rest of the group to roll by the station on route, 5 miles from Dana Point at about 9:20.

Camp Pendleton Access: IF you have military access or have a Base Bike Pass you MAY take the routes through the base between Las Pulgas and Harbor:

ON BASE ROUTE SLIPS <= Both options - BASE PASS REQUIRED… Print & bring along

Medium: Dana Point to Oceanside & Train back to San Clemente (ON BASE NOT FREEWAY)
36.5 miles Round Trip Map/Elevation down to Oceanside Station

Long Plus: Dana Pt to Oceanside Harbor - No Train back (ON BASE NOT FREEWAY)
59.9 Miles Round Trip   Map/Elevation

Most of us do not hold a current BASE BIKE PASS from the USMC, so we will ride the freeway shoulder between Las Pulgas and Harbor Drive. It’s legal, faster, shorter, safer, but noisier.
See Base Pass info here.

DETOUR ON LONG ROUTE TODAY
There is 1/2 mile of construction on Lagna Canyon.
The northbound lane is free of construction but has no shoulder, so you will be riding IN the single travel lane. Control it to avoid unsafe passing (don’t ride on the edge).
To avoid it, you can take the SHORT or MEDIUM today, or use the following detour: Turn right onto El Toro Road to Left onto Moulton to Left onto Lake Forest to Right onto Romano & Pavona Sidewalks.
The construction is at mile 12.7. The Detour will get you back on route at mile 17.1
This DETOUR will be offered until the construction work is completed at this location by Caltrans.

Several BCI members have been getting together for mid-week long distance training rides. The group have been picking favorite weekend Long & Long Plus routes, along with some of the old Sunday Sufferfest and Bear and Onyx training rides from our Ride Banks. The pace is friendly, a bit slower (not race or electrified speeds) and they regroup for support and to share the challenges.

DETOUR ON LONG ROUTE TODAY
There is 1/2 mile of construction on Lagna Canyon.
The northbound lane is free of construction but has no shoulder so you will be riding IN the travel lane. Control it to avoid unsafe passing (don’t ride on the edge) To avoid it, you can take the SHORT or MEDIUM, or use the detour: Turn right onto El Toro Road to Moulton to Lake Forest to Romano & Pavona Sidewalks.
The construction is at mile 22.8. The Detour will get you back on route at mile 27.2. The DETOUR WILL ADD 2.5 MILES to today’s ride. Map/Profile/.tcx
This DETOUR will be offered until the construction work is completed at this location by Caltrans.

Savvy Tips for Route 21:
The full route takes Bake across the 405 freeway...
All though Bake is a Class II bikeway, Irvine and Caltrans have failed to paint any of their own 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. This is a perfect place to use the Right on Green CycleSavvy tip: Stop on the red and WAIT until the green light - Bake traffic will be held with a red light and give you at least a head start on 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 to the crosswalk.
• 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.
