Why this ride

Redwoods, ridge rhythm and ocean air in one clean Bay Area loop. This road trip is shaped as a ride, not as a shortcut: leave the start cleanly, use the first checkpoint for fuel and weather discipline, then let the middle 62 km be the part you remember. The best part sits around Skyline Boulevard ridge, Pescadero coast view, Half Moon Bay water stop, while the fuel checkpoint and Alice’s Restaurant rider stop keep the day practical instead of turning it into a fuel hunt. Check the selected map before departure: scenic sections, transfer sections, speed/control reminders, risk points and the GPX checkpoint order are deliberately visible so the route is understandable before the engine starts. Ride it early if the area is popular, keep the photo stops legal, and shorten the route if weather, daylight or energy stops agreeing with the plan.
