I’m tired of Pescadero so lets go to Halfmoon Bay instead. Yes it is shorter than Jonathan’s B-ride, but so be it. We can add on more if we want to.

We will start through Portola Valley on the Nooner/Spectrum route to Kings. After a regroup at top of Kings we will head north on skyline to 92 and descend back to CaƱada and work our way north to Pacifica, make sure to have the route here if you aren’t going to be in the group, there is a little wiggling back and forth unless you’re going to be on Sawyer Camp Trail (yikes) or 280 (double yikes). Next regroup with water and bathroom will be at Devils Slide.

Our longer stop will be in Halfmoon Bay before we head up Higgins Canyon way to Purissima Creek Trail which meets Skyline near the top of Kings again. If you haven’t done the Purissima Creek Trail climb, it is doable on a road bike, but takes a little bit of thought to find your smooth line in spots.

Then we will descend Kings back into town and be home. Tada.
