Our Favorite Roads VII

April 30, 2026.  Many times on our weekend riding adventures we will "head west" toward the Santa Fe Dam and the cycling routes near there.  One of our favorites is the San Gabriel River trail, which is part of the "Emerald Necklace", a 17-mile loop of multi-benefit parks and greenways connecting 10 cities and accessible to nearly 500,000 residents along the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo river watershed areas in East LA County.  Great riding and beautiful views!  Ride On!

toward Whittier Narrows.

Ride Report: Windbreakers Special Edition - Santa Ana River Trail and PCH

March 28, 2026.  Six hearty souls gathered on a beautiful Saturday morning for a ride in Orange County, along some of our favorite routes.  Following our Windbreaker Country meet-up, we drove to the Anaheim Canyon Metrolink station for pre-ride meeting and wheels down.  Soon enough we were on the Santa Ana River trail headed south toward the coast. Then headed south on Pacific Coast Hwy through Newport Beach, Laguna, and Dana Point to our destination at Los Molinos Beer in San Clemente for lunch and beverages.  Following lunch we boarded the Metrolink train back to Anaheim to finish the day.  50 miles of good times and Ride On!

Ready to board the train at San Clemente - L to R:
John, Joe, Mike, Jim, Craig, and Tom.  

A Visit From a Special Guest

February 28, 2026.  Warmer temperatures greeted the lads as we gathered for a beautiful Saturday morning ride in Windbreaker Country.  And to top it off, we had a surprise guest visit from our very own Rick the "Rabbit", one of the five founders of the club, who moved to North Carolina a few years ago.  As always, it is great to see Rick, catch up on life, and share the many stories we have from past rides together.  Ride On, my friend.

L to R: John, Rick, Mike, Jim and Tom.  

Happy New Year 2026!

 

Off we go into 2026!  Our 22nd year together...
Looking forward to many more bicycling
adventures to come!  Ride On.
