All Sunday rides, except out-of-town rides, leave from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, 13420 Maxella Ave, Villa Marina Marketplace. Most people ride to the start, but some drive and park on nearby streets.
Sunday departure time is 8:00 am up to Memorial Day weekend and then switches to the summer start time of 7:30 am through Labor Day weekend, except for out-of-town rides. Please be ready to roll at the departure time!
Your bike should be in good working condition and you should be prepared to fix a flat (i.e., have spare tube, tire levers, patches, pump or CO2 inflator, etc.). You should also carry a water bottle (two in warm weather), snacks, and lunch money. Helmets are required at all times, and no headsets or earbuds, please!
This schedule is always subject to change. As a convenience to riders, it may include mention of and links to other organized rides that some of us participate in, but these are not “official” or “out-of-town” MDRCC rides.
Please, no E-Bikes. This group is somewhat traditional and part of the reason people ride with us is for the fitness it brings under their own power.

TOUR OF WESTSIDE CANYONS - NEW ROUTE
A new tour of the Westside canyons that incorporates a number of our members favorite climbs for a total of 46 hilly miles. Ride up Ocean Ave to San Vicente and jog up to Bundy with the climb to Mt. St. Mary's. Return to Sunset and climb up Homewood, back down to Sunset and round trip on Mandeville. Return to San Vicente and ride to a round trip up and down Amalfi before returning to MDR. A new variation for Mandeville is, on the way up, to turn left at Westridge, go to the top of it, and then back down to Mandeville via Banyon and Arbutus for the rest of that climb. Fun! Fun! Fun!
