We will be riding the Purisima Creek Trail and/or the Cliffside Trail between Purisima Cliffs and Half Moon Bay Harbor. Beginner to advanced ebike ride on the beautiful and wide dirt hiking/ebiking and fire trails. We will decide on the trails and difficulty on who shows up for the ride.
Bring your picnic lunch, as we will lunch in the redwood forest or coast. We can also visit the Burleigh H. Murray Ranch State Park, and it's wonderful turn of last century gigantic redwood dairy barn.
[A single battery will suffice for this ride if you pedal some. ]
Estimate 25 mile total ebike ride distance, with some hilly conditions. Trails are ebike and dirt roads.
All departure and return times are approximated. Please keep this in mind if you were going to make plans to return at a certain time, which is discouraged.
Meetup at the Half Moon Bay State Beach/Francis Beach Day Use parking lot, near the restrooms. We will then head South on the gorgeous Cliff trail for about 2 miles, and then turn onto Murray Ranch Rd. After about 2.5 miles of easy asphalt road with low traffic, we turn off onto the beautiful dirt road to the Mills Barn and Murray Ranch. After visiting this area we continue on low traffic asphalt road for a couple of miles until we arrive at the entrance to the Purisima Creek Trail, Purisima Creek Road Trailhead. We then enjoy the dirt trails on our ebikes, with mostly easy to intermediate dirt trails. There are some advance trails we can do if the group participants so desire. We then come back to the State Park parking lot along the gorgeous Cliff trail. This itinerary can be simplified depending on the abilities of the riders.
