Launch from Ryan Bonaminio Park in Riverside and roll the Santa Ana River Trail west toward Hidden Valley Lookout. Cruise under the railroad bridge (bonus points if a train passes overhead), follow the trail through open stretches, and soak up the scenic hills at the turnaround. On the way back, mission reward is waiting — a raspa at El Raspadito or legendary fish tacos at La Buffadora, just off Van Buren.

Set up base camp at Huntington State Beach, ride the boardwalk north to Seal Beach, and return for a classic BBQ cookout. Stop for music at Sea Legs or food near Huntington Pier before the smooth ride back. Beach vibes, good food, and a day-long mission that feels like vacation.

Ride the historic Pacific Electric Trail through Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, and into Claremont near Pomona College. Stop for coffee at Lucky’s in Upland, then finish with a reward lunch at The Back Abbey. Urban scenery, cultural stops, and a safe trail make this a versatile mission for any squad.

Launch from the Redondo Beach Pier and cruise north along the Marvin Braude Bike Trail to Dockweiler State Beach. This mission delivers oysters on the International Boardwalk, music history at The Lighthouse Café in Hermosa, and wide-open coastal views past Manhattan Beach. For those riding double and not driving, the legendary Mai Tai at Old Tony’s upstairs at the pier is the ultimate bonus reward.

A flat, open run from Yorba Linda to Anaheim Angel Stadium with wide river views and smooth cruising. Cap it all off with a Pinkberry victory stop at the finish — a mission equal parts miles and morale boost.
