Alright Rebels… this one’s got just the right amount of spice for all those ambitious riders that like suffering We’re meandering through the hills of Mission Viejo, mixing in something new with a run through Via San Gabriel and a few fresh streets to keep it interesting. Then we turn it up a notch: 👉 La Barca climb to wake the legs up 👉 Cruise it down toward Dana Point for those ocean views 🌊 👉 Hit the Queen Stage (PID) in reverse (yes… reverse hits different) 👉 Finish

At the last minute it looks as though the weather god will spare us rain during our ride! This week we head out to tackle Live Oak and Santiago Canyons. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31155493 Clip-in at Windrow Park at 8:30am. Visit our new Orange County Rebel Riders Facebook group .

To All, Well, spring is here, which apparently means I can no longer say it is too cold. It’s time to do some tough rides. I knew this day was coming, but my "chicken brain" was actively trying to forget (thanks for the not-so-gentle reminder, Ron). Option A: The "Why Do I Do This To Myself" Ride (GMR 😫) For those with too much time, zero self-preservation instincts, and a desire to suffer, we are doing GMR. I will be questioning my existence the whole way up. Clip-on time:

Cooler by the coast, they said. It’ll be scenic, they said. They were right… but they forgot to mention the climbing. We’re back to Laguna and Newport Coast for a ride that serves ocean views with a side of “why am I doing this to myself.” 🙃 Choose your level of adventure: Long route : Temple Hills + Vista Ridge (aka character building) Short route : Bluebird Canyon (still counts, still hurts) We’ll finish with a well-earned cruise through Back Bay. Roll out: Windrow Park, 8

This Saturday we’re switching it up a bit… 👀 We’ll kick things off by testing out the new Venta Spur pedestrian bridge over the 133 (because… of course we had to be some of the first to ride it 😎). From there, we roll into the smooth and scenic vibes of Live Oak Canyon—perfect terrain to wake up the legs without completely ruining your weekend… yet 😏 Then we cruise through the beautiful roads of Coto de Caza, where the pace might pick up just enough to make you question yo

Hi Everyone, I was bored today, which, as it turns out, is a dangerous emotional state for my legs. In a moment of too much caffeine, I decided to "curate" a new route. The initial plan was innocent enough: hit PID  first, then take the "scenic long way" home to pad the mileage and feel like a professional athlete. However, I apparently suffered from amnesia regarding the Aliso Creek bike path . I forgot that it isn't so much a "path" as it is a slow, relentless ladder to the

Who’s ready to stack some miles before stacking some Sunday pancakes? 🥞🔁 This weekend we’re cruising the coast for those cooler temps—but let’s be honest, the main character of this ride is Temple Hills . Again. Because apparently we never learn. We’ll suffer together—heavy breathing, burning legs, and a little mid-climb soul searching are all part of the loop. And if halfway up you start questioning your life choices (or considering a very convincing “mechanical issue”),
