ABOUT

The Ranchos Cycling Team was founded in 1988 to promote cycling and an active Southern California lifestyle. We meet every Saturday, 8:00 a.m., at the Westfield mall, in Escondido in the southern mall parking lot, adjacent to Via Rancho Parkway and across the street from the driving range. Enter by the Sunset St. mall entrance.

For over 25 years we have been riding, racing and performing community services. We are based in northern San Diego County with team members living and riding in Southern California and the West Coast. Our club represents people from diverse backgrounds with a mix of interests. Many of our members strive for a green and healthy lifestyle and therefore choose bicycles over motorized vehicles whenever possible.

We do not have the most members of all cycling clubs in San Diego, nor do we accumulate the largest Saturday morning coffee shop stopping crowd. We are a humble, diverse group of bicycle enthusiasts who see ourselves as good ambassadors for everything cycling related.  We do claim to have the best routes of any cycling club in Southern California.

If you want to ride with a group that is safe yet fast, serious but helpful to other riders, and willing to volunteer community-related events, then come out and have some fun with the Ranchos.  You are welcome to join us for a few trial rides.  If you enjoy your experience and wish to join, then please go to our Membership page.
