LA Tri Club Pizza Port Ride - Anaheim to Solana Beach
Thanks to the hard work & dedication of the LA Tri Club Cycling Events volunteers & staff, we will be kicking off another fantastic SAG-supported long ride on Saturday November 15th - Anaheim to Solana Beach!
Course Overview 
The first segment will take you on the Santa Ana River bike path to the south end of Huntington Beach. It's a good time to warm up, so take it easy.
The second segment is a long stretch on PCH. Please be cautious when riding on PCH, as some sections may not have a designated bike lane. Furthermore, watch for traffic making left- and right-hand turns into an active lane; don't expect that you will be turning into a bike lane. Please ride in groups for safety reasons.
In the third segment from San Onofre, you are on the old highway. Although you are safe from traffic, watch out for ruts, potholes, and wild animals.4. The fourth segment takes you on the shoulder of I-5. BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS here as you are riding close to traffic going at excessive speeds. Stay as far to the right as possible. Watch out for debris (tire treads) and ride single file so you are not close to the active lane.
5. In the fifth and final segment, you are back on PCH, similar to section 2, but much safer. Don't let your guard down!
