"A two day road tour from Irvine to Del Mar and back
with a fiesta in between." 

Come experience two days of fun and fitness while you cruise either 100 or 150 miles and enjoy the beauty that is Southern California.

Paramount Racing, in cooperation with the Orange County Wheelmen (OCW), is hosting their third annual “Cinco de Mayo Fiesta 150– A Celebration of Cycling” Event. The ride starts either in Irvine (at the Amtrak Station) or San Juan Capistrano (at Buy My Bikes) on Saturday, May 3, 2008. Park your car, drop off your luggage, and ride some of the most scenic miles down the California coast to Del Mar. Two luxurious hotels are available for the riders with rooms blocked at a discounted rate for this ride (Riders must secure their own hotel accommodations). That evening, riders and their guests will attend a Cinco de Mayo party at the Marriott hotel. To top off the evening’s events, some fabulous door prizes will be given away. The following morning, riders will travel back to their point of origin  where your bags will be awaiting your arrival.
