Description

Quick update - make sure to update your device's route if you previously sync'd it, as I've slightly updated the route to avoid Skyline. Taking Skyline back can still be done, as it's fast, fun, and about 5 miles shorter in total, but can be a bit unnerving if there's wind or a lot of weekend traffic. I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me about doing this particular route, so let’s do it! You may need to update the route though, as the west side of OLH is currently closed due to construction (I had to scramble over construction equipment last time), so we may just backtrack a bit towards Alice’s and head down the west side of 84, which is a fun, fast descent. The ride out to Pescadero is one of my favorites in all of the Bay Area. You go along quiet roads through tall redwood trees, and will enjoy cool weather and fantastic, fast descents with open vistas. It’s a big day, but it’s worth it. Lunch options include either a stop in the town of Pescadero or a bit before it in the tiny “town” of Loma Mar, where there’s an amazing little kitchen and general store that has great food. They definitely don’t mind the cycling crowd, and I talked to the owner a bit this past weekend. They have fantastic (healthy) food and coffee options. Alternatively in town, there are several options including a coffee shop, a fantastic (cash-only) Mexican spot (in a gas station no doubt), and Arcangeli’s Grocery, which has amazing sandwiches in the back and is known for their garlic artichoke bread (IYKYK, it’s amazing). If it’s a hot day, the coffee shop also currently sells soft serve, with an optional topping of olive oil and Hawaiian red salt. Don’t knock it before you try it, because it’s fantastic. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! See you Saturday! Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3182224065692383050
