Between the Storms: A Mellow Ride (Sun 12/8 @ 10 AM, Half Moon Bay)

Between the Storms: A Mellow Sunday Ride

There is supposed to be a brief dry spell between this week's storms and the next one. If you'd like to ride (and be dry) this may be your chance.

<<< WEATHER PERMITTING - STAY TUNED FOR RIDE STATUS >>>

Expect an exhilarating ride thru picturesque back-roads of our beloved Santa Cruz Mountains surrounded by trees, creeks, hills, valleys and not too far from mighty Pacific.

• When: sun 12/8. Arrive 10:00 am for coffee, gossip and group-hug; KSU 10:30 AM. Start the ride with FULL tank and EMPTY bladder.

• Where: Half Moon Bay Coffee Company (Main & Stone Pine, HMB) (https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=20+Stone+Pine+Road+%23A%2C+Half+Moon+Bay+%2C+CA%2C+94019%2C+us)

• Route: Semi-technical back-roads in 408, 831 and 650 area codes. There will be bumps, tight switch-backs with diminishing radius, etc, the fun stuff that improve your confidence and sharpen your riding skills. Expect lots of crap (debri, gravel, run-offs, etc) on the roads.

• • • • • Not for newbies - recommend for riders with 15K+ miles and/or 18+ months of seat time * * *

• Pace: Mellow_ish (i.e., put on your patience helmet and leave your ego at home).

• Motorcycle: Yes, please bring one with you ;-)

• Gear: Head to toe. Dress in layers due to cold temps.

• Lunch: In 831 area Code. If you are picky about what you eat, feel free to bring a sandwich or snack.

• Ride ends around 3:30-4:00 PM back in civilization.
