Be sure you ride Box Canyon, one of my favorite rides there. Joshua Tree Park is a fun one too. Riding to and up the tram road is another fun ride. Borego Palomar is a great ride if you have time to drive to a ride.

Sweet!!I'm here in the Coachella valley. I'm a definite maybe for a ride. On Facebook, check out the only tri club around. You can definitely connect with a variety of athletes who know and are down for all levels of ride at the Salton Sea Triathlon Club.

“I swim to get to the bike. I run because nobody gives a shit about aquabike.”

Depending on your ability level, there are virtually roadie rides every day of the week in the valley. I used to do a nice Sunday ride that started in the La Quinta area, pretty casual for a few miles, then drop city for the weak and undertrained. They regroup half way through for coffee in Palm Springs, then back at it after a few easy miles again. Smallish group of about 12 to 18 or so, and people drop off near their homes along the way, so ok with a triathlon bike if you are comfortable in small groups...
