Anyone renew their Camp Pendleton cyclists pass lately? Requirements?
so my "inaugural" camp pendleton cyclists pass just expired and i'd like to renew it/get a new one.
anyone done this renewal yet? don't remember what we had to show to get it the first time...wasn't it two forms of id like a current
state drivers license/id card and a social security card or just a valid passport or some such?
can we renew just by showing the expired camp pendleton id? guessing no because that would be too easy and
require only one hoop to jump through. i think i used the pass/id 6x this year. not that the ride through pendleton
is a scenic wonder but it does beat traffic whizzing by at a steady 75mph.

Don’t know, I never got a pass. Just rode the freeway again last weekend. Good thing about summer mornings, I averaged about 20 mph from Las Pulgas to Harbor Dr, while the cars were averaging 10-15. When it’s like that I prefer the freeway to the base.

Driver's license and the expired pass is all they asked for. And didn't take a new photo.

Prefer I-5
I did it for the first time just the other week. With a group of 4 total. Your bonus is that you can refill your water bottle and use the bathroom (at the rest stop, 3 miles in). Try doing that in Pendleton. You're only on I-5 for about 5-1/2 miles.

It looks like that after Oct 1, 2020 you're going to need a "Real ID" in order to access a military base.
"Beginning October 1, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security requires your driver license (DL) or identification (ID) card be REAL ID compliant if you wish to use it as identification to board a domestic flight or enter military bases and most federal facilities."

You're no less free than you were with a regular driver's license but since SOME STATES insist on giving them out to non-citizens, you can no longer rely on a DL to prove you're from California.
It just sucks that CA is so far behind the 8 ball that most of us are going to have to go to the DMV an extra time, rather than just doing it at the normal renewal time (ie I'm eligible for a mail in renewal next March but I'll have to go get one of those new damn IDs). Everybody's favorite activity - going to the DMV

My wife and I are just getting passport cards, we already have passports so not very difficult. By the time my CA license comes up for renewal I may be changing my residency to Idaho. The CA DMV experience alone is a good reason to change residency.
PS - top tip, schedule your DMV visit for a Friday in SLO, take the bike, visit your daughter, make a weekend getaway out of it. That’s what I did last time I had to physically show up for renewal. Made an appointment, showed up on time, 20 minutes for paperwork, money, photo and eye chart - done. And the DMV employees were very pleasant there.

Case in point: a passport for a citizen inside the U.S.? Next stop carrying papers. Our forefathers gave their lives for these freedoms and now we so willingly hand them back. Do you think they would be proud?
I'm still waiting for my license that is two months overdue. A nightmare of a system even before the extra burden.

With regard to DMV. I got my real ID well before my DL expired in April. I made an appt. and was seen ontime. I was out of there within 30 min. Would have been faster but the person helping me....told me to go get my photo taken then come back to her for my temp DL papers. When I got back to her window she was ON BREAK for 15 minutes. So I stood there waiting for her to get back.

Tell that to someone like me who hails from another country and still remembers being told not to say certain things in public and waiting in a ration line to buy toilet paper and soap.

rode up to o-side and got the id. no line today at 2pm and it took about 5 mins. someone exiting the visitor center said the system “was down” (which it was) and that they were only issuing 7-day passes. system worked tho if you were just getting a renewal like me. the force was with me. proffered the expired camp pendleton id along with the current ca drivers license. new issued id same ugly picture. no cost. current hours are mon, tues, thurs, fri 7:30am-3:30pm. wed 7:45am-3:30pm. closed sat and sun.

Many of the Germans kept insisting the Nazi takeover would make things better and was just a formality and that life would continue just as it always did. We all know how that eventually turned out. There's a reason the study of history is so important.

History always show those that sit back blind to the changing time insisting "Krypton is only shifting it orbit". By the time the reality of what has happened is beyond what they can deny, its too late.

this thread went off the rails at post #8 and is unlikely to recover...and i was among those arguing against the natural outgrowth/law of
unintended consequences of the patriot act nearly two decades ago. hope the gleamy info within helps another before the lock. maan...
anything semi-related to the ca dmv is doomed to agitate and provoke.

Technically the freeway is also on the base, I wish they would just pave a bike path and put up a barrier for the entire 17 mile potential detour.

it’s a busy enuff corridor but something tells me the marine corps prefer to have control over the entire situation. i don’t see them allowing caltrans to reconfigure/expand the 5 freeway without their say so, even if it allowed them to close the base to cyclists. something about having your cake and eating it too. then there’s the caltrans budget which likely doesn’t include 17+ miles of dedicated and separated bike path alongside the 5 fwy. it would be nice and hopefully in our lifetime but i’m not holding my breath.

To those of you who ride alone and not with a club: If you have a Facebook page I suggest you "like" the Orange County Wheelmen page. They post updates, road closings, base closings and other things of interest to cyclists.
My ride to Oceanside about 2 weeks ago was done with the knowledge the base would be closed thanks to reading about it on their page.

And if you're interested in an organized and well-supported ride down the coast, OCW is hosting the inaugural Pacific Coast 100, with both full and metric century routes, on Saturday Sept 7. This replaces the old Amtrak Century (which is DOA because Amtrak in their infinite wisdom will no longer charter a special train for the event). The new ride starts in Irvine, goes down the coast to Torrey Pines, then ends at a brewery in Carlsbad - all riders get a beer included! Bus and truck transport is provided to get you and your bike back to Irvine.
Check it out here:
