2024 Rides and Events

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.

    The usual southern route down to the Malaga Cove Plaza, continue on PV West with side route on Paseo Del Mar, where we will observe the stupid stop sign that Herwin and I got ticketed at, On to PV South and then up PV East and the switchbacks. Extra credit for doing the domes on Crest, and continue to PV North and back to Roma Aroma in Redondo Beach. People wanting a shorter route can do the golf course (Via Campesina) and return.

     

    I can't tell from the internet if Portuguese Bend is still closed.  If so, we'll do some variation from Malaga Cover
