Regular Training Rides
- Tuesday evenings, Dec-March. The McGaw training ride has been going on
for more than 10 years. Actual ride time from 6:00pm till 7:00pm. For those
who can arrive early there is a 1 hr warm-up ride leaving at 5:00pm sharp.
The warm-up ride will do a loop through Turtle Rock and back to the start.
6pm training ride will consist of small ring pace-line work to start and
will transition to the big-ring and gain in speed. This is a great ride for
beginner racers and will help everyone get a little leg speed and crit
simulation.
Start location is at the corner of Pullman St. and McGaw Ave. in Irvine.
This is where McGaw Ave. dead-ends near the 55 Fwy.
