We’re making history with our 5th Annual Rwanda Ride. We’ll be the first major cycling event that takes riders through 3 (count ’em) three OC Parks.  You already know and love our route through O’Neill and Caspers Parks.  Now, we’ve added a mini-tour of Whiting Ranch Park into our event!

All of our local riders know about the rain damage to Arroyo Trabuco Trail, which is expected to be closed for several more weeks.  Bummer because that was the only way back to O’Neill and the finish of our event.  We would also lose about 9-10 miles of our ride.  But I love it when a challenge becomes an opportunity for something even better.  In our effort to find additional trail miles, we contacted Whiting Ranch.  Turns out they are thrilled about adding their popular park into our event route.  How cool is that?  We’ll still start and finish at Cooks Corner.  But now all our riders (both 50 and 25 milers) will head to Whiting for some fun new trails.  We’ll get our needed mileage in, and a bit more climbing too just for fun, before we return back to the Aliso Creek bike tunnel and on to our “normal” climb into O’Neill Park.  We hosted a training ride today through our new 25 mile route, and everyone thought this year’s route is our best ever!
