Tuesday LA Explorers Ride
Led By Mario Obejas Remote Start: Schooner or Later Parking Lot at 241 N Marina Dr, Long Beach, CA
Ride Start: 9:00 AM
Route: Pirate House & Bunnyhenge
L2/L3 Pace: 39 miles 526 ft
It's Halloween week! Time for the annual ride to Bunnyhenge and the Pirate House in Newport Beach. Due to distance, we do a rare Remote Start from the Schooner or Later south parking lot, but maintain the customary 9am Start Time.
Expect a short mid ride Treat Stop on Balboa Island, at Dad's Donuts or Sugar and Spice, for frozen bananas or your favorite ice cream treat. We then take the ferry and head back.
An after ride food/drink stop will take place at the plaza next to Noble Rotisserie, just north of the Schooner or Later parking lot. There's plenty of seating and restaurant choices in that plaza so you can find what you like and we can sit together. |
