This classic route starts at Lexington Reservoir, then climbs up to Summit road and then down a long, gentle descent to Soquel for a coffee stop at Gayle’s Bakery. From there, the route heads inland to Corralitos (mile 34) for a refueling stop at the Corralitos Sausage Company before heading into the redwoods and up Eureka Canyon. The ride finishes up with a fun, swoopy descent down Old Santa Cruz Highway. Social pace with four official regroups. Be prepared for cool temperatures at the coast. Keep an eye out for whales.
