From the Back Bay to Newport Coast and PCH, Newport Beach is where a lot of Orange County rides happen. We're a Santa Ana shop about 8.5 miles by road from the Newport Beach Civic Center.
Newport Beach riders get the best of both: the flat Back Bay loop for easy days, and the climbs up Newport Coast Drive and toward Pelican Hill when you want to suffer. Add the coast road south to Crystal Cove and Laguna, and it's easy to rack up big miles. The catch is salt air. It works its way into chains, cables and bolts, so coastal bikes need cleaning and lubing more often than inland ones.
We have one shop, in Santa Ana. There's no Veloaded location in Newport Beach.

The coast road from Corona del Mar past Crystal Cove State Park toward Laguna Beach. It's busy, so ride early. See our PCH ride guide.
Coastal riders get the most out of a tune-up that includes a proper drivetrain clean. We also handle Di2 and AXS work, triathlon bikes, and new Cervélo quotes.

Yes. Salt speeds up corrosion on chains, cables, bolts and bearings. Wiping and re-lubing the chain after coastal rides and a regular service go a long way.
