SANDPIPER VIA CATHEDRAL OAKS

WITH OLD SAN MARCOS OPTION

Sunday, March 21, 2021: 8:30AM - 12:00PM

Led by the famous windsurfer, Peter Alden!

This week's ride takes us out Cathedral Oaks Road to the beautiful Sandpiper Golf course.  There are two options:

Option A: Starts at 8:30am at Tucker's Grove.  Make a right out of the parking lot and take the first right to Old San Marcos road (OSM) for a challenging but beautiful 3-mile climb with many ocean views.  This is no-drop ride with two stops along the way and climbs 1648 ft. with many steep sections that range between 10% and 20% grades.The turnaround point is at the intersection with Rte. 154.  The descent takes us back to the Tucker's Grove parking lot to meet up with the Option B. Group. Check out the Ride Map!

Option B:  Starts at 10:00am.  This is mostly flat ride and also has an option to go up Glen Annie Road for a gentle ascent through a lovely valley of avocado and orange groves.

The goal of the Cycling Committee is to hold weekly social meetup rides that are open to cyclists of all levels and abilities. Our rides are typically designed to have multiple start points and route segments and a destination that will allow us to relax and chat with our fellow Newcomers and guests after the ride. These rides are 'No Drop', so no riders will be left behind. Whether you are a beginning rider or a Tour de France champion come out and join us as there will usually be something for everyone.
