finished by 8:45 PM.
- Our seating area is
on the north end of the field in a special area
roped off for the 50-year grads.
- Ushers will be
available to show/escort you to the seating
area.
- From 6th Street,
enter the first gate on the right to the field
(north end) and receive a program. Names of the
50 year class will be listed in the program so
be sure to take one.
-
Class of '76 names will be announced
after the speeches and prior to the 2026
graduates, which should take 1 hour (anticipate
around 8PM). Class of '76 graduates should
stand (or raise hand) when their name is called,
and a diploma will be brought over to them (if
not shared before the start of the program).
50-year grads are dismissed after all names are
called. Typically, an after party is held at
another location.
- It is often damp
and chilly at night on the field. Dress
accordingly!

ChatGPT: How to stay
engaged at a 50 year high school reunion event |
2026 Outlaw Bike 'n Brew!
Friday, July 3rd
11 AM (time change) at McP's
Event on Facebook
We'll meet in front of McP's
Irish Pub & Grill, (1107 Orange Avenue) at
11 am, then go to Hotel Del, Pool, Chart House,
along Glorietta Bay, riding past the yacht
club, tennis courts and golf course, then
under the bridge, onto the bay walk to the
Coronado Landing, then up Orange Avenue to
end at
Rick Chapman's Coronado Brewery
Company (170 Orange Avenue) for lunch.
See map
of route here.
You are responsible for your own safety
during this event. Follow all traffic laws. We'll meet as a group after the ride
for a brew or other beverage of your pleasure at
Rick's, arriving there around Noon, so lunch is also
an option. For those renting bikes,
either drop it off at nearby
Bikes and Beyond before lunch, or be
prepared with a bike lock if you go directly
to Coronado Brewing.
Holland's Bikes and Beyond
near First Street and Orange Ave has
reserved some cruisers for alumni to rent at
$25 for 4 hours. Hybrids are $30/4
hours. Let us know if
you'll be participating and if you want one
of the reserved bikes, or another type.
Holland's
(original store) near Tenth Street and
Orange Ave, keeps only ten electric assist
bikes on site for rental. See websites for business hours
and rental bikes offered. Note:
Electric bikes are not allowed on path that
runs on the beach side of the Hotel Del.
See
Holland's bike map here. Just
bypass that section and rejoin us.
Bike 'n Brew Participants:
Let us know if you're
participating so that we reserve enough bikes,
including spouses.
