Meet up at 9:00 am for a 9:30 ride out at Peet's on Market.

San Bruno Mountain is a classic San Francisco climb, one of those hills you can knock out in a couple of hours, get a great leg burn, and still have the rest of the day to do as you need to. Once you've done it, let it become one of your go-to routes.

It is a long climb with a break and restroom midway which can be used to shorten the route. The first part has a great shoulder, the second part has a pretty rough road, so take care especially on the descent. The upper half of the second part gets pretty steep, but that part is not that long. And the views from the summit are epic.

There is an optional rest stop for food and coffee at Java Beach Cafe. And then we conclude the route by retracing our climbs from the first ride in the series, Vicente, Ulloa and Twin Peaks.
