A Endurance - Saturday 6/8 - Pigeon Point

It's my birthday this week so what better way to ring it in than leading a ride?!

This is a chill extended coastal classic to Pigeon Point Lighthouse that'll help everyone taper into next weekend's Pescadero Road Race!

We'll ride a steady Z2 continuously until the lighthouse (mile 45/km 65), with a nice ~25min tempo up OLH, maybe a harder effort up Haskins, and an attempt at a paceline down to Pigeon Point via HWY1's sweet tailwind. After a quick group photo at the lighthouse, we'll take Gazos Creek back to Pescadero for water & food & artichoke bread.

Afterward, we'll do a gentle recon of Stage Road and skip the Bike Hut before climbing Tunitas via Lobitos Cutoff - hopefully the artichoke bread doesn't hurt us too much! After a gentle Kings descent, we'll roll to Alpine Inn or State of Mind for some post-ride pizza.
