Aliso Creek Trail ride - BEST OC Cycling Group

August 29, 2009 ride on the Aliso Creek Trail in Orange County, CA. The "BEST OC Cycling Group" is a meetup.com group. Find us on the web at: http://bike.meetup.com/355

The Best OC Cycling Group was formed by people who enjoy riding bicycles for pleasure. It is NOT competition oriented, nor are our rides geared for "training" purposes. We like to get together on weekend mornings, ride around various locations in the greater OC area, and usually get together for lunch afterward. Our group is interesting because members like to ride a wide variety of vehicles. In our group you will find road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrids, comfort bikes, tandems, recumbent bikes and trikes and an occasional beach cruiser -- anything as long as it has wheels that require human power turning some pedals! (note that because of distances and hills, we don't recommend beach cruisers, but if you are up to it... come on along) We ride mostly on paved bike trails and try to keep time on the streets to a minimum.

Aliso Creek Trail is fun because the areas of the trail look different over the 13 miles. Lot's of variety. and it has a lot more hill climbing areas that most of our other trails around here so it is a challenge for flatland riders. And the roll back down the hill is a blast! Just have to watch some of the sharp turns when you get going downhill. There are a few tight turns where cyclists have crashed because they got going too fast and missed a turn onto a bridge.

That looks like a great ride! The food at Cook's looks pretty good too!!
