You may be looking in the wrong place. Ride through Irvine on a Saturday or Sunday morning and try to count the road bikes. I do group rides out of Deerfield Park Saturday morning and we have on average 100 road bike leaving the park but have had more than 300 on some occassions and we are not alone on the road. There are lots of other riders on the road at the same time.

As for no mountains, I hope you are kidding. There is a park that is a 10 minute ride from my house that is great for mountain biking. It backs up to Irvine Park which connects to Santiago Canyon, Irvine Lake, Mojeska Canyon and O'Neill Park. This is just part of the mountain biking around Orange County. Someone could ride a century in mountain bike trails if they wanted.
