With the Race Across America kicking off in June, this populaires celebrates this ultra-distance cycling event by riding on a very very very micro-portion of the 3000-mile challenge on two wheels.
Starting from Pizza Port Bressi Ranch, you'll ride down to the coast to the Oceanside Pier, where the race starts. Jumping on to the San Luis Rey bike path, you'll follow the parade start portion of the race route, making your way to Mance Buchanon Park. The "official" race course begins on College Blvd, climbing Sleeping Indian and then up Old Castle Rd to Valley Center Rd. You can endeavor to hammer and race this section of the populaire route, Whereas the RAAM racers will turn left on Valley Center Rd to continue to Annapolis, Maryland several days later for the finish, you'll make a right to descend down to Escondido and back to Pizza Port for pizzas and beer.
The order of finish will be by last name, but you are welcome to "race" either just on the official RAAM course or even the whole 100k. On Tuesday, June 14, RAAM solo and RAW (Race Across the West) racers will start their epic race from the Oceanside Pier, followed by the team start on Saturday, June 18.
