Continuing our summer coast cruise brevets, this time you'll venture north to Dana Point and back. This is an out and back route starting from Coronado Brewing Company on Knoxville St. In addition to the beauty of the Southern California coastline you'll be passing while riding north and south, you will only need to deal with 1 control at Spunky and Tudor Deli off of the Street of the Blue Lantern Dana Point. Immediately after the control, you'll make your descent down Cove Rd where you'll take in the amazing view of the Dana Point Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. Another name for this 200k is "Surfin' USA" as you will pass a fair number of the famous surf spots listed in the lyrics.

This brevet has the option to ride through Camp Pendleton if you have a base pass. See the link to Camp Pendleton's page on how to apply for the DBIDS Credential (https://www.pendleton.marines.mil/Base-Access/Recreational-Bicycling/). The page will explain where to apply for your pass and the hours of operation. It is free and will be valid for 12 calendar months from the date of issuance. YOU WILL NEED TO OBTAIN THE ENTRY PASS BEFORE THE DAY OF THIS BREVET.
