Dual Start Malibu Coast Bicycle Camping

10.4.08

Regardless of your experience and expertise, join us for a 21+ mile (each way) bicycle camping tour of the Malibu coast. For those with a little more experience, start 15 miles south of the beginners at Marina Del Rey.



Start Time: The Beginner start time is 10:30 A.M. sharp at the Starbucks in Malibu at 3900 Cross Creek Rd. near the Malibu Civic Center. The Not-So-Beginner start time is 9:00 A.M. at the Coffee & Tea Leaf in Marina Del Rey in the shopping center near the intersection of Maxella Ave. and Glencoe Ave. If you are a beginner, borrowing equipment, or need help setting up be sure to meet with me at 8:30 in Marina Del Rey or meet me before Saturday morning as I will be starting with the Not-So-Beginning group.



Route: After leaving Starbucks, we ride north on Highway 1 for about 22 miles to Sycamore Canyon State Park. There, we will check into the Hiker-Biker campsite for $5.00 per person. The next day we return the same way. Highway 1 is sometimes hilly along this stretch of coast. From the perspective of an intermediate rider, the hills are not a significant challenge. All the hills, but the hill south of Zuma Beach (5-7% grade), are seldom more than 3 or 4% grade. In any event, hills are good for you. If we want more miles, we can ride all the way north to the Beach at Point Mugu and then turn around and ride to Sycamore Canyon.



If we get to our campground early enough, we will have time for the beach.



Eating: Before we get to the campground, we will take break at the Trancas shopping center just north of Zuma Beach. There we will shop for our evening campground (or beach) barbeque. We can also have lunch at Trancas (deli sandwiches from How's Market or Starbucks again) or ride 6 more miles north to the legendary Neptune's Net. However be warned, Neptune's Net is not known for fine dining. It is known, however, to attract scores of motorcycles like puppies to a slobbery tennis ball. To be fair, if you are willing to pay a (much) higher price for lunch, move around to the south side of the restaurant and you will find a very good fish fry bar. For Breakfast Sunday morning, we can cook in camp, and/or eat along the way, and/or wait until we return to our starting location.



I rate this trip as beginning to Not-So-Beginning due to short distance and few hills. I estimate the distance each day is about 22 miles (or 35 miles for the MDR group). In fact, I organized this trip especially for beginners. So, if are a beginner who is in reasonably good shape and wants to find out what bicycle camping is all about, you are especially invited to sign up. More experienced riders, even the hard core types with names like "Smokey" are invited to come as well. We will need someone handy with tire levers to ride sweep.



If you have any questions email me or call my cell phone number is 310-266-8592. You will need to pack as you would for a backpacking trip (but no backpack!), a mult i-gear bike in good repair, a spare tube etc., panniers or a trailer. If you need help with equipment or you would like to borrow a set of panniers, a trailer, or even a bicycle set up for touring, please email or call me.
