I screwed up when I selected the route. What I would like us to do is take the first right at Lobitos Creek, Left at Verde, Left at Lobitos Creek Cutoff, Right at Tunitus to Bike Hut for Lunch, then backup Tunitus to go home. Below is the corrected route:

Route: Shoup Park, Kings, Tunitas, Lobitos Creek, Lobitos Creek Cutoff and return via Tunitas / Kings.
Distance:  53 miles
Total Ascent: about 6300 feet

Lunch at Bike Hut - Right onto Tunitas. Rain Cancels
