About this event
RYF Annual Labor Day Beach Ride
Riders will meet at the Huntington Beach Pier Plaza as has been the case the past several years. RYF will not be providing lunch. All riders will be responsible for their own lunches which can be brought along or purchased at the beach. RYF has talked to one of the local food vendors that are willing to provide a lunch menu for us.
Riders will meet at Edna Park by 9:15 am and roll out at 9:30 am.
Riders will meet at Yorba Park by 9:00 am and roll out at 9:15 am.

Two parking options are available. It is suggested that you use the parking lot inside of Yorba Regional Park as parking is spacious and more secure. The cost is $5 for the day. Drive in the park entrance and past the kiosk, turn left on the main drive, and park near the rest room in the main parking area. Trail access is located at this lot.
A second option is the dirt lot near the play fields entrance at the west end of the park where you may park for free. NOTE: this lot fills up quickly and parking may be limited.
Anybody who wishes to start in Redlands and
ride the Santa Ana River Trail to the beach may do so. The ride will
start at the IYBI Office and roll out at 5:30 am. Riders must arrange
for their own transportation back to Redlands, and may do so from
Huntington Beach (72.7 miles), Edna Park (86.1 miles) or Yorba Park
(98.9 miles.)
The ride from Redlands to the beach should take
approximately 5 hours at a 14.5 mph average. All riders will start together and ride to the SART at California Street. It is anticipated that two groups will continue from this point.
Riders who wish to roll at an average faster than 15 to 17 mph may do so in a separate group. A second group will ride at about 14 mph with stops to regroup as necessary.
Also, sunrise will be at 6:30 am, and it will still be dark at 5:30 am, so lights will be required on your bicycle.
PLEASE NOTE: For those RYF
members riding to Huntington Beach from Redlands, if you either need a ride back to Redlands
or have extra space in your vehicle (including transporting a bicycle)
for the return to Redlands, we can post information on our Home
page. Send the information to RYF Webmaster. Riders may
also wish to check the availability of riding Metrolink from the Santa Ana
station to the San Bernardino or Redlands stations for the return (total route is 98 miles). Weekend routes
are limited but information can be found on the Metrolink website at Metrolink Train Schedules .

The public is invited to our walking group.
Walk Yourself Fit is invited to join the entire Ride Yourself Fit family on the annual beach ride and lunch at the pier in Huntington Beach. A 5-mile walk along the beach trail is planned with lunch afterwards.
Walk Yourself Fit meets at the Huntington Beach Pier Plaza at 8:30 AM. The walk will be along the beach trail north approximately 2.5 miles to Seapoint Street and return. Walkers may wish to get their feet wet with a return walk in the sand.
After our walk, we will gather with the cyclists for lunch at 11:00 AM.
Participants may bring their own lunch or purchase a lunch from one of the vendors at the beach.
