Saturday A-Ride - August 10, 2024 - Pigeon Point

For this week’s A Endurance Ride, we’ll head out to Pigeon Point for a fun ride at the coast! This route includes some of my favorite backroads, namely Cloverdale, Bean Hollow, and Lobitos Creek.

We’ll aim for a steady 3.0 W/kg pace, riding efficiently and pacelining on the flatter sections. There will be a brief water stop at Pescadero at mile 47, and we’ll also quickly regroup at Alice’s; otherwise, stops will be minimal. I recommend you carry all the food you’ll need for the ride (i.e. around 400-450g carbs).
