  • Coastal Classic

    Wed, August 24, 2011 10:00 AM | Michael Khaw (Administrator)
    Since it's supposed to be in the mid-60s and partly sunny out on the coast, while sunny and mild inland, let's do the Coastal Classic. Approx. 56 miles, 5200 ft. (back at Shoup by 4:30-5 pm). ACTC Goats: OLE Old La Honda East, TNC Tunitas Creek. Brief lunch stop at the "no bike shoes" General Store in San Gregorio (bring or buy). Heavy coastal fog or high winds changes route, rain cancels.
