AV A Endurance - 2025-01-18 - Pacifica - HMB - Lobitos - Tunitas

Hi everyone!

This Saturday we will embark on an adventure to the coast, first making our way north Pacifica through Cañada - Skyline and then down Highway 1 to Half Moon Bay. We will enjoy a ~20min coffee stop there before climbing the combo Lobitos - Tunitas. Arriving on Skyline, we will either go down 84 or Kings depending on how much more cycling our legs can tolerate at this point.

I will enforce a relatively strict 3-3.5 W/kg pace on flatter sections (especially on HW1 where we will make an attempt at pacelining). I will personally keep a similar pace when climbing but people should feel free to go at the their own pace on Tunitas, and we will regroup at the top. Apart from the coffee break in HMB, we will attempt to minimize our stops and keep a steady pace all around.
