I’m planning on riding a century along the coast from OC down to San Diego this weekend, and trying to figure out the route. How does one get across Camp Pendleton if it is closed to the public? Do you really have to ride on the 5 and if so for how long…anyone familiar with this area?
yep, you have to ride on the 5 for a few miles until you get to Oceanside.
It’s about 7 miles on the fwy, but you will be hauling ass from the big truck draft the entire way…
I thought Pendleton was open again, no?
It WAS…not sure if it is now…bring an I.D. and try it. The ride through the base is much nicer than that along I-5 (although the freeway would be much faster).
I rode a loop from Mission Bay to San Clemente about a month ago, the gate was open then, no ID needed
