Join the ride from Orange County
Ride up with DROC or meet us at Bike Shed LA. For the group ride, meet at the Shell at 13891 Red Hill Ave, Tustin, CA 92780. Plan to leave by 5:30 PM at the latest so we can ride into LA around sunset and cross the 6th Street Viaduct. Moto3 begins at 5:00 PM, so meet directly at Bike Shed by then if you want to catch the full schedule. The 5:30 PM latest departure is for the sunset ride into LA; the DROC group ride is geared toward the MotoGP main event scheduled for 8:00 PM.
Destination: Bike Shed Motorcycle Club, 1590 Industrial St #1580, Los Angeles, CA 90021. See the Bike Shed event page for the host’s latest event information.
