January Bike Ride - Newport Back Bay Trail
The ASCE Orange County Sustainability Committee organized a bike ride around Newport Back Bay on Saturday, January 25. Sixteen bike enthusiasts attended the scenic ride on a beautiful day. Most of the 11 miles ride on a trail adjacent to the water body of the bay.
The cyclists experienced a variety of birds along the trail as the bay provides nesting grounds. Some participants met at Panera Bread after the ride for breakfast and networking.
