Unloading and setting up the trike.
It's 7:45am and the sun is already warming things up. But the ride is along the beach in Ventura so it'll stay cool. While back at home (only a 45 minute drive to get to Ventura) the temps are 10 to 15 degrees warmer today.
Starting area for the ride.
The beginning of the ride is an "open start" from 6:30am to 9:30am so you don't get a bunch of riders bunching up.
A short MUP along the beach early in the ride.
One of the few areas along highway 1 where the pavement is good.
Highway 1 is pretty roached out in may areas and it rattles you around a bit. There is also a one mile strip along HWY 1 packed with RV's and trailers. Oh the wonderful sounds and smells of generators on a beautiful Saturday morning. I don't know how people call that a vacation.
Picture of all the RV's and trailers packed end to end on HWY 1 (pic is from a earlier ride). Red and white pump trucks are part of the RV camping experience along the beach.
Moving on...
The newish La Conchita Bike Trail which ends at Rincon Beach.
