After careful consideration of our saturated trails and more rain forecast for later this week, it is with very heavy hearts and frazzled nerves, that we announce the postponement of the Archipelago Ride which was scheduled for April 6, 2024
We have conferred with the land managers and in the best interest of the trails, we going with our planned back up date of May 11, 2024.

We are switching things up to keep you all on your toes for the Full Arch Route in 2024!
We are scouting a new route through the islands for the Full Arch for 2024. We can leave a few breadcrumbs and tell you the Full Arch route will take you on an adventure from east to west instead of the traditional north to south journey. We can tell you there will be plenty of miles (around 45), plenty of smiles and plenty of climbing (around 4500 feet)!
The Half Arch will remain similar to 2023 starting at Sundevil Way with a lap around Black Mountain then west to Penasquitos. Enjoy 23 miles and 2,100 feet of climbing, with two aid stations to keep you rolling with a smile!
Both routes will permit ebikes (class 1 and 2) as permitted by the land managers whose properties we cross through.
Early bird, discounted registration will be open for members only from 1/15 through 1/21 for $100. (members will receive an email on the morning on 1/15/24)
Then, registration will open to the public on 1/22 for $125 and will be open until the event is sold out.

It is a Spanish term that means "Cycleway". It is the closing of certain streets to automobiles for a temporary time, in order to allow cyclists, skaters and pedestrians access to local businesses on open streets. It is an event that is held globally as well as locally, such as San Diego, Pacific Beach and Chula Vista. Cyclovia Encinitas is the first and only similar open-streets event in North County.
