Watch your Hotflash email for updates and additional  details.All rides are subject to change and rides may be canceled due to rain, hail, snow, or an occasional race that many club members are attending.

 SATURDAY WEEKEND RIDES: All rides start at 8:00am

Please be adequately prepared for all rides. Bring fluids and food such as Powerbars (I like chocolate best) or Clif Bars. Bring enough supplies to change at least two flats.

If you plan to cut a ride short, please know the route and use the buddy system. Plan ahead and find a partner to ride with. Any suggested short ride options below are not staffed by Rincon Board members. We cannot guarantee that any ride mentioned will have a Rincon Board member present. Please ride safely, obey the rules of the road, be courteous, and for heavens sake, only pass on the left. When in doubt, ask one of the oldies (oops, I mean seasoned veterans) whether you are doing something correctly. Remember that when riding, your carelessness is dangerous to others.  The first four weekends of the month have a ride scheduled.  If a fifth weekend occurs, we like to call it a mystery ride.  Mystery rides are announced via our members only hotflash (email) and these rides are always scheduled based on suggestions form the members of the club.

For detailed descriptions of each ride, please select them using one of the links on the left.  The rides are as follows:

FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH  ZUMA RIDE: Las Posas road in Camarillo to Zuma Beach and back.

SECOND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH  CASITAS PASS: This is a loop beginning and ending at Inside Track in Ventura.  Inside Track is located at 38 W Main Street, Ventura.

THIRD SATURDAY OF THE MONTH  SANTA PAULA OJAI LOOP: This is a loop beginning and ending at Inside Track in Ventura.  Inside Track is located at 38 W Main Street, Ventura.  This ride goes east to Santa Paula, up highway 150 and into Ojai. From Ojai, the group often makes a decision to either head back down the bike path to Ventura or take a few side roads that eventually meet up with the bike path and then heads back in to Ventura.

FOURTH SATURDAY OF THE MONTH  POLO FIELDS: This ride takes you up the coast with breathtaking views of the ocean and the occasional wiff of a horrible smelling dumpster along the Rincon. The occasional site of dolphins more than make up for the smell of the dumpster. This ride is approximately 40 miles. This is a loop beginning and ending at Inside Track in Ventura.  Inside Track is located at 38 W Main Street, Ventura.

FIFTH SATURDAY OF THE MONTH  MYSTERY RIDE: Watch your Hotflash emails for the latest info on the ride for this week. The mileage should be around 40-50 miles. The Rincon Board is always open to suggestions for this ride.

Coming Soon! 
TUESDAY NIGHT DUATHLONS: WARMUP at 6:00pm

FIRST AND THIRD TUESDAYS  (APRIL THROUGH AUGUST)

The Tuesday night duathlons are back beginning the first Tuesday in April. The duathlons will take place on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays beginning in April and running through  August.  Be there around 6:00pm for a warm up on your own or with others.  The first wave of starts is at 6:30 pm.  For those newbies out there, the duathlons have a staggered start with the fastest starting last.  The staggered start allows everyone to train with others.  The fastest is not always the first one done.  Spectators and extra help are always welcome.

Cost:  There is no cost.  These are training options and loads of fun.  It's like a race that you get to do for free.

Registration:  Just show up, let Shigy know that you're there, and then toe the line with others that have a comparable finish time to yours. 

What can you do:  All that we ask is that you find one evening to help out.  Volunteer to be a timer, spotter for traffic, or just help out in any way needed.  These are for fun, but they cannot happen without the volunteers.  Please set aside one night during the duathlon season to help out.  It won't take more than an hour of your time at most and your help will be much appreciated.

Directions: 

From Ventura, take the 101 north to the state beaches exit just north of Ventura.  Proceed under the bridge until you arrive on highway 1.  Look for people wearing a lot of spandex (maybe too much) just north of Emma Wood state beach on highway 1. 

From Carpinteria, take the 101 south to the Sea Cliff exit. Turn right onto highway 1.  Take in breathtaking views of the ocean while you travel almost all the way to Emma Wood State Beach.  Look for people wearing a lot of spandex just north of Emma Wood state beach on highway 1.
