December 14, 2024. As we neared the end of another fantastic cycling year, and with the busy holiday season upon us, a few of the troops gathered on a cool, late fall Saturday morning for a ride to the beautiful Orange County coastline. Following the drive to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, (ARTIC) it was "wheels down" at 7:45 am, then south along the Santa Ana River Trail toward the coast. We left the trail in Costa Mesa, following nice bike routes through Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach around Upper Newport Bay. Following a stop at Juliette's in Newport for coffee, we commenced north along Pacific Coast Hwy past Huntington and Bolsa Chica State Beaches. At Warner Ave. we turned east back toward the Santa Ana River Trail and the return ride back to ARTIC. A beautiful ride totaling approximately 52 miles....Ride On!
