Gurus,
The cornerstone to a successful group ride is a consistent start time and location. The Sambazon start for the Sunday ride never really gained traction and recently the meeting point seemed to be moving each week. Since Sambazon is no longer a sponsor and we're not obligated to start there, we polled a number of Sunday ride regulars and decided the aforementioned Starbucks would be a better and more centrally located start location: It's on the coast for when the ride heads up to San Clemente and when the ride heads inland it can follow Poinsettia to Peet's in Bressi Ranch and onto the Vista Twist.
In keeping with the Sunday ride tradition, the route will vary depending on everyone's mood. When it heads inland it'll still swing by Peet's to pick up riders but make sure you check the Google group to verify the route before planning on meeting the ride along the way. Of course as long as you show up on time at Starbucks you won't miss the ride.
We'll update the Swamis website with new maps and ride info in the next day or so but in the meantime spread the word.
Sorry for the change and any confusion it may cause but I think the new start location is for the best.
Ride safe
Steve
