The girl lives in Menlo, so Saturday we rode Sand Hill -> OLH (E) (31:45, ugh) -> OLH (W) -> 84 -> San Gregorio -> Stage -> 1 -> Tunitas -> Kings -> Whiskey Hill -> Sand Hill.

I had originally planned on adding a Haskins Hill to Pescadero to Stage to San Gregorio section. I had expected the whole ride to be 50mi. So imagine my surprise that the whole thing was 48.85 miles without even making it over Haskins Hill to Pescadero! That would easily have made it 70.

Great weather-- a bit cold and misty on the OLH West decent, but not even too windy going down 84.

Tunitas was wet partway up, just from fog earlier in the day I think.

The Kings descent is actually pretty effing awesome. I'm not sure why everyone rags on it. I passed a Toyota Sequoia at the park near the bottom. I took a break at the intersection with 84 in Woodside (so, second stop sign) and it took the Sequoia 3 minutes to catch up.
