All Sunday rides, except out-of-town rides, leave from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, 13420 Maxella Ave, Villa Marina Marketplace. Most people ride to the start, but some drive and park on nearby streets.
Sunday departure time is 8:00 am, except for out-of-town rides. Please be ready to roll at the departure time!
Your bike should be in good working condition and you should be prepared to fix a flat (i.e., have spare tube, tire levers, patches, pump or CO2 inflator, etc.). You should also carry a water bottle (two in warm weather), snacks, and lunch money. Helmets are required at all times, and no headsets or earbuds, please!
This schedule is always subject to change. As a convenience to riders, it may include mention of and links to other organized rides that some of us participate in, but these are not “official” or “out-of-town” MDRCC rides.
Please, no E-Bikes. This group is somewhat traditional and part of the reason people ride with us is for the fitness it brings under their own power.
IMPORTANT RIDE CAVEAT – Riding on public roads with motor and pedestrian traffic, road hazards, and other cyclists is inherently dangerous and because of this, accidents and serious injuries might occur. By riding with MDRCC, you acknowledge and accept these risks and release MDRCC and all others involved from any and all liability.

PV - New (3rd time?) Route!
The usual ride to the Malaga Cove Plaza drinking fountain. People who want a short ride can return from there.
The rest is the new route (done once or twice before) on some roads we haven't used and in directions we don't usually go. It's got some new stuff going through the Hollywood Rivera section of Torrance, a little bit of the north part of San Pedro, and some familiar routing on PV East, Via Coronel, and a reverse Silver Spur back to PV North. RideWithGPS says it's 37 mile and 3,400 feet of elevation gain from Malaga Cove back to Klatch Coffee. Here is the RideWithGPS for the route:
