Training Rides
Training Rides are a fun, social way to get ready for the ride weekend. Attending helps you physically prepare and get comfortable on the road while building connections with fellow riders. Each scheduled training ride will be held simultaneously in both Orange and San Diego County locations. Each training ride location will typically have two 20-30 mile routes led by experienced Bay to Bay cyclists, one of which is a more beginner-friendly route, and one more geared towards intermediate and advanced riders. Rides typically meet at 8 am, roll at 8:30, and then finish around 11, followed by complimentary lunch. The details for training rides will be shared via email and on our Facebook page several weeks prior to the date of the upcoming event.
