AV A Endurance - 2025-01-25 - Haskins - Higgins - HMB - Tunitas - SHAKE SHACK

Hi everyone!

This Saturday will the first Shack Track & Field Ride of the year. We will take OLH to Haskins and go up Stage through the coastal foothills to HMB. We will enjoy a ~10min coffee stop in HMB before climbing the combo Lobitos - Tunitas. Arriving on Skyline, we go down Kings regrouping briefly at the top and then bottom, after a safe descent, to travel as a group to Shake Shack.

I will enforce a relatively strict 3-3.5 W/kg pace on flatter sections and strive for pacelining. I will personally keep a similar pace when climbing but people should feel free to go at the their own pace on OLH, Haskins and Tunitas. There will be quick regroups at the tops of these climbs. Apart from the coffee break in HMB, we will attempt to minimize our stops and keep a steady pace all around, likely adding a water stop (if needed) in Pescadero.
