We are going to postpone this ride ... the day after July 4 is not optimal and more importantly, the ride leaders knee abrasions from his accident a week ago are still too painful for effective riding. Possibly looking at July 18 for this.

The Route
Meet up at 8:45 AM for a 9:00 AM departure.
We start in Pescadero and head north on Stage Road until it hits Highway One. There is a cool descent down to San Gregorio Beach where we can stop for restrooms. Then we continue south on Highway One with a detour to stop at Pigeon Point Lighthouse. After a short further jog south, we turn left on to the sylvan beauty of Gazos Creek Road until we turn back on Cloverdale to Pescadero Creek Road. We ride up Pescadero Creek Road to the Loma Mar Store just five miles away to get a delicious lunch before turning around and heading back to the parking lot start and finish. (You can end your ride early and head home without lunch (ouch) by staying on Cloverdale and turning left on to Pescadero Creek Road for the short jog back to the parking lot.
And don’t forget to drop by Norm's Market in Pescadero afterwards to get some artichoke bread to take home!
