When: Sunday, May 17th at 8am

Where: The Path Bike Shop parking lot

Rough agenda: Meet at The Path at 8am for coffee. We’ll rally in the parking lot till around 9 or so, and then ride! The ride ends at The Tustin Brewery where we will hang out on the patio, and they will give us a deal on beer and pizza.

Disclaimer: Mountain biking can be dangerous. The Path, its ownership, staff, and affiliates are not responsible for you on this ride. This is a casual event.

The general course: Exit the Path parking lot, and make a right on B Street. Make a right on Irvine BLVD, a left on Tustin Ranch Road, and another left on Pioneer Parkway. Follow the horse trails to the Peters Canyon South entrance. Ride through Peters Canyon, up Jamboree Rd., to Santiago Oaks. Then, it’s up the three hills known as…you know…female dogs. Down towards Irvine Park, and back to The Tustin Brewery.

Note: It is recommended that you ride to this event; however, if you are driving, it is a good idea to leave your car with a change of clothes in the parking lot of The Tustin Brewery before the ride.
