We're not in Costa Mesa, but we're close: our shop is in Santa Ana, just north of the 405 and the city line, about 3 miles by road from Costa Mesa City Hall.
Costa Mesa is one of the best-placed cities in Orange County for road riding. You're a few miles from the Back Bay and the coast, and the Santa Ana River Trail runs down the city's west side past Fairview Park. That's also why so many Costa Mesa riders end up at our shop: it's a short hop up Fairview Rd, and you can be back on the bike the same week.
We work on road, tri, gravel and mountain bikes. If you ride the Back Bay or the coast a few times a week, you'll put miles on a drivetrain faster than you think, and sea air is hard on chains and bolts. A regular check-in keeps it from turning into a bigger repair.
About 3.1 miles by road from Costa Mesa City Hall (77 Fair Dr) (2.7 miles in a straight line). Approximate: computed from OpenStreetMap coordinates and routing data. Traffic and your exact start point change it.
From Costa Mesa City Hall at 77 Fair Dr, go north on Fairview Rd for about 2.2 miles. You'll cross over the 405, and Fairview becomes S Fairview St at the Santa Ana line. Turn left (west) on W MacArthur Blvd; the shop is about half a mile along, in Suite B.
From the South Coast Plaza area, take Bristol St or Fairview north to MacArthur and head west. The shop is about 1.6 miles from South Coast Plaza in a straight line.
Directions from Costa Mesa in Google Maps
Fairview Park sits on Costa Mesa's west side next to the river, and the Santa Ana River Trail runs past it (it's listed as a point of interest along the trail). Ride south and the trail ends at Pacific Coast Highway by Huntington State Beach.
About 10.5 miles around Upper Newport Bay. Back Bay Drive is a 3-mile multi-use road along the water; cars only go north, bikes can go both ways, and there's a 15 mph limit, so save hard efforts for the climbs out of the bay.

From Costa Mesa we mostly see tune-ups, Di2 and AXS setup and troubleshooting, tubeless setups, and drivetrain cleaning for bikes that live near the coast. Bringing a new Cervélo home? We do sizing and quotes too.
