I am planning for this week's ride to ascend Kings then Swett, follow Skyline, descend 84 West/La Honda Road, up West Old La Honda, and back along Skyline to Page Mill.
Some weather reports call for brisk winds and up to 90+ minutes lost to wind, according to Randoplan. If the forecast continues to look windy, we can fall back on Five Bumps to Montebello which shows only 50 minutes lost to wind.
49 miles and 4900 feet of elevation gain if climbing Kings, or 40 miles and 4400 feet if climbing Montebello.
Start location and time: Shoup Park at 8:45 for a 9:00 departure, route will be finalized then.

Lunch: In Sky Londa- sample the cuisine from the market or bring your own, or wherever we can find out of the wind.
