DROC - Ride to MotoDoffo and Watch the San Marino & Rimini MotoGP

Ride to MotoDoffo; Watch the MotoGP Race; Then Optional Palomar Loop

Ready for a fun day of riding and watching the MotoGP race at the mecca of Misano; the Marco Simoncelli circuit?

Sunday, Sept. 19 at 8:15 am, we will take a mellow ride to MotoDoffo via Ortega Hwy, then after the MotoGP race we’ll take an optional, twisty and spirited, ride through Palomar. If you’re up for it. Or back to OC (we’ll split into two groups).

The longer route has plenty of roads we rarely get to ride: it means a long ride so if you are unsure you can make it please check with us for advice.

Planned Routes:

• MotoDoffo via Ortega, and back to OC via Ortega
