What to know before you roll

A few things that keep the group rides fun for everyone:

  • Moderate pace. A solid group pace, not a race. No drop-style hammering.
  • Regular cyclists. These rides aren't a good fit for brand-new riders just starting out.
  • 18 and up. All riders must be 18 or older.
  • The three-minute rule. We leave within 3 minutes of the posted time. Miss it and you'll need to chase us down or catch the group on the route.

Typical ride routes.

Start at the Pier. Explore the coast or inland roads. Finish with coffee and conversation at Pannikin.

Every ride starts at the landward entrance to Oceanside Pier (Pacific Street & Pier View Way) and finishes at Pannikin Coffee & Tea, 322 N. Cleveland Street, Suite B, downtown Oceanside.

O’side style. On every ride.

A clean, understated look inspired by our coastal home: a cool light-gray jersey, a small slate-blue O’side Cycling chest logo, and coordinating blue bib shorts.

  • Cool light-gray jersey
  • Minimal slate-blue chest branding
  • Coordinating blue bib shorts
  • Small rear-collar message: “never stop pedaling”

We’re working toward bringing our club kit to life with Voler. Final garments, sizing, pricing, and ordering details will be shared once confirmed.
