Tour de Beach – 2/24

Tour de Beach

Hi Engineers,
I’m excited to formally announce the details for the first bike tour brewery crawl of 2019; the Tour de Beach on Sunday February 24 at 12:00 pm noon!

The plan is to start south and work our way back up north. This is a relatively flat 14+ mile course with just one significant hill at the beginning of the ride going in to Del Mar. The hill is about the size of the hill going up to Stone Escondido. I would suggest a bike with gears.

We will meet at the Sorrento Valley Transit Center. The group will leave shortly after the Coaster drops off train 684 at 11:42am. If you’d like to take the Coaster down, please see the link at the bottom of this email for schedules.

The Details

Once the group is together, we will head to New English Brewing to arrive when they open at 12 noon. After a couple of tastes, we will ride north about 5 miles at Viewpoint Brewing. If you haven’t been to this brewery, there is a great patio overlooking the lagoon, a full kitchen, and tasty beers. The next bit will be about a mile-and-a-half to Culture Brewing in the Cedros Design District. From there, we will ride about 2.5 miles to Lost Abbey’s tasting room in Cardiff called The Confessional. After checking Tshe Confessional out, we head to Modern Times in Encinitas. Modern Times is another opportunity to eat, but be advised, it is 100% vegan food. That being said, it’s damn tasty. If you’ve had enough, you will be right by the Encinitas Transit Center and can get back in your car, or take the train further north to wherever you boarded the Coaster to get to Sorrento.

If you would like to ride on, we will head up beautiful Neptune Dr. to take a quick peek at the ocean at my personal favorite beach, Beacon’s Beach, and then head down to The Regal Seagull Taproom/St. Archer Brewing (they are right next to each other) for a final beer/taste.

Start
Sorrento Valley Transit Center – Mile 0
New English Brewing – Mile 1
Viewpoint Brewing – Food opportunity – Mile 6
Culture Brewing on Cedros – Mile 7.5
The Confessional – Lost Abbey – Mile 10
Modern Times – Mile 12.5 – Food opportunity

Date:  Wednesday, June 20th @ Booze Bros Brewery in Vista

Time: – about 6:00 PM (give or take) since we never know EXACTLY when it’ll be done

Cost: – 2.50 per gallon, all in

How to pay: Preferred: PayPal, Venmo or Zelle to Jacques. Or Exact change and Cash on the day of the event.

To make the evening more fun, I’ve asked Maurey if he can put some fun and funky beers on tap for us and he said he’d do it. I also asked that if there won’t be a food truck if we could bring pizza for us all and they’re OK with that. I’ve put it on the spreadsheet to gauge interest. We can bring bottles to share but they can only be in the event room.

If you can’t make it, try to find a friend who can bring (and pick up) a vessel for you. Maybe we can get them to hold a few a day or so if that helps.
