I used to race at el dorado park, really nice place. We're really lucky, there are plenty of great places in these parts to ride. If you're able to drive and ride, there are plenty of ppl on here that can let you know about all the great cycling places, just ask them.
I always liked the back bay and through Irvine, fairly flat and nice ride.
Don't forget the SART!!

yeah, we are lucky to have lots of places to bike around.

i load my bikes in my truck and take them to the beach or el dorado park. i heard about Irivine but was is SART?

SART = Santa Ana River Trail, runs the length of the river from the Newport/HTB inlet all the way inland past prado dam.... very nice with lots of great ppl on it. It might be a very long ride for a newbie, but in small bites you'd enjoy it. Yorba regional park has some public parking and is a really nice cruise, you can grab the SART and head south about 7 miles to the honda center and then back... I usually picnic at the park lots of shade and tables, restrooms and water fountains.... you can probably find the park on any map...
I think it's on/off La Palma ave... if I'm wrong someone on here will correct me.
I sometimes ride to the Queen Mary, there's a really nice bike trail that goes that way too... then the one that goes along the 605, I think that one is the SGRT, I don't think it's as nice as the SART though...
Try 'em out.

Don't tell me you quit already....

lol....nah, i haven't quit. i actually rode my beach cruiser from HB to Bolsa Chica and back on Saturday. it was fun and relaxing. a little chilly but it was still a good cruise down the beach.

Nice to see you're still around. Stick with it till summer and you'll really start enjoying it even more!!
BTW, even though its a cruiser you might like having a speedo on it. You can pick up an inexpensive one at target for about 10 bucks. Not so much for anything but keeping track of miles ridden and how fast it takes to out ride your friends

Hope you're out riding that bike....
I'm ridin' mine!!

Just checking up, personal life has been really busy last couple months, you still riding?

robertkat

I think we all know why you don't lock it up.

merckx_rider

Does that mean he wants it to get stolen so he can get a new one?
Just give it to me...
