Tour of Pacifica's San Pedro Mtn trails (Adv-Int, 12.5 mi/ 2500 vert) POTLUCK!

**EDIT** 10/2: Oh, snap - now it's a potluck ride!

Richard Jacinto (the TNGR potluck king) has agreed to co-lead this ride so that we can have 2 groups... and we'll be having a post-ride potluck! Stick around after the ride for some tasty food! Bring a chair, a table, and food or beverages to share!

Note new start/end location: To accomdate the potluck we'll start from the school parking lot at the corner of Rosita Rd. and Peralta Rd. We'll ride to the trailhead from there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1emQGVFUyzHTmU7w8

Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend so that we can invite other riders off the wait-list.

Join for a Sunday tour of Pacifica's San Pedro Mountain trails! ~10-12 miles and 2K - 2.5K of vertical. Exhilerating downhill singletrack, amazing coastal views, and cool breezes off of the ocean.

Terrain: This not a beginner ride. Pacifica is a mix of blue & black terrain that requries an advanced-intermediate skill-set. Expect tight downhill switchbacks, rocks, and a lot of loose, steep and narrow descents. Frequent exposure to steep hillsides is part of the charm of this ride :) We'll take a "no peer pressure" attitude to techincal features - no shame in walking.

Route: Depending on the group's skill and interest we'll hit some combination of Fly Amanita, Mile, Boyscout, Gray Whale Cove and Twin Pines/Burnside. We'll stop and session the Waterfall on the Mile for a bit if there is interest & maybe lap the jumps on the top section of Boy Scout.

Pace: While we'll stop at the top of climbs to regroup, please note that you need a fair level of fitness for this ride due to some extended climbs- a mix of long fire road grinds and some punchy singletrack. We will keep a social pace- stopping to regroup at the top of climbs, after downhill or technical sections, and at intersections.

Meet at the school at the corner of Peralta and Rosita Rd: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1emQGVFUyzHTmU7w8
