As time goes by and more Members are welcomed we plan on arranging more events for all levels of Cyclists from those thinking of buying their first Bike to the seasoned Rider.
Irvine is one of the best Cities to ride a Bicycle in Southern California, why? Because we have well paved and mostly Flat Roads with Bike Lanes and Cyclist Buttons on most Traffic lights, there are also a growing number of Cyclists on our roads which make Drivers more aware, plus, we have miles of Traffic free MUP’s (Multi use Paths).
If you’re thinking of Commuting by Bike you should join us first, we will show you how to ride defensively, avoid opening Car Doors and the correct way to make lane transitions, we can help make your commute safer and give you the confidence to ride to and from work.
There are so many different Bikes on the Market, we can help you choose the best one for your purpose and prevent costly mistakes, whether you want to cruise the Backbay with your Family, Commute, Ride offroad Trails or ride a 100 miles (a Century) we can help you make an informed decision in your Bike purchase.
Some of the upcoming events we are going to plan are:
1. Bolsa Chica evening Beach Path cruise and BBQ on Bolsa Chica (Huntington beach) ride from 1 to 10 miles.
2. Newport Beach to Sunset Beach Boarwalk cruise.
3. Backbay after work pm rides.
4. 15, 30, 50 and 100 mile rides
Please watch this thread for announcements and read our Post-ride reports.

It’s a lot easier working out using the Wii fit than walking 50 feet to my IAC gym. I’m soo lazy.
]]>Any other Chiro recommendations for lower back pains would be appreciated.
]]>Since Sunday I have had immense pain caused by what I think is a sciatic nerve…at first I thought I needed a Hip replacement and recover by Saturday, I need a quick fix because I have a 100 mile century in three days…wait, a 100 mile century? anyway…..
Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, what did you do?
A pre-ride half Bottle of scotch and a handfull of Motrin or Advil isn’t an option because I need to ride in a straight line..and not riding isn’t really an option either…
Thanks in advance for any advice…

Bike Industry Business School, Credit Crunch Edition
- Look at a line graph tracking the Euro to US Dollar conversion since late 2005 and it looks like a map of a mountaintop stage at le Tour. It stabs up and up, with only the occasional downward tease. For 3 years it’s been the financial equivalent of a leg-and-lung crushing attack-fest up the Tourmalet. We’ve gone from 1 EUR = 1.15 USD to upwards of 1 EUR = 1.6+ USD. The net impact to us as a retailer, and to you as a consumer, is pretty simple to assess: Prices have gone out the roof. Where they hurt the worst are in European-manufactured products. To paraphrase Phil and Paul—the price spikes have come thick and fast.

Yesterday we saw what appeared to be some sort of a bike event in Irvine, along Harvard near Michelson. Anyone know what event that was?
