Post-Ride editing....

Original title was Coastal Classic Counter Clockwise - nope, it was clockwise...
Original post missed confirming the Start Location (Shoup Park) and time (meet at 8:45, roll at 9:00 AM).  At least the Ride Schedule was correct!

D/4.2 (5869')/56 - It’s going to be both cloudy and sunny, cool and warm - while we rode Coastal Classic three weeks ago, but it never gets old to see our Beautiful Pacific Coast, so off we go!

Coastal Classic Counter Clockwise via Page Mill.

Distance: 56 miles
Elevation: 5,869'
Lunch: bring, to enjoy at the Bike Hut ~ Mile 31
