Saturday A-Ride 1/11 - Kings, Pigeon Point, West Alpine

Hello friends, this week we’re going to take advantage of some southerly winds on the coast by going up Kings, down Tunitas to Lobitos to Hwy 1, and pacelining it together all the way down to Pigeon Point Lighthouse. From there we’ll come back on Cloverdale and do a quick detour into downtown Pescadero for water, and if people feel like it, a longer lunch stop with a sandwich, some pastries, maybe some freshly baked artichoke bread 🤤🤤… and then climbing back up Pescadero Creek Rd to West Alpine.

Tunitas should be pretty dry, but it’s still not an easy descent and there may still be debris so take care. I will strictly be doing like 3 w/kg on the climbs so you can send it if you want, but you will have to wait and regroup at the top. It should be a beautiful, sunny day on the coast and I hope you will join us!
