Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Any cycling clubs for IRVINE (So Cal) area?

There are soo many trails in Irvine and I was wondering if you guys knew of any cycling clubs in the area that rode as a group? I think it would be nice to join a group to gain a familiarity of the area with them and safety. (safety in numbers) :-)

I know of the following groups but do not know too much since I have never ridden with either group. The OCRR seems like a great group because they have varying degrees of rides. There are probably other groups out there...

BCI https://www.bikeirvine.org/ (Paid membership, $20/year)
OCRR https://www.ocrebels.com/ (Free)

OCRR is great as it is a non-club club. No membership dues etc, just show up with a helmet
and ride.

BCI is a great group for the Irvine area!! Their Saturday rides are 3 levels: short, medium and long. Short is 10-15 miles or so, medium is 20-31ish, and long is longer than that. The longer the ride, the faster the pace. They also have classes in bike maintenance and how to ride with a group. Not as serious as a road race club-but you can get your miles in.
