Woodside to Pescadero Loop
Here are pics from my ride on Sunday. I woke up a little later than usual and didn’t meet up with my lifecycle group. so I did a loop from Woodside to Pescadero and back to Woodside via Stage Road and Tunitas Creek Road on my own. 57 miles with about 4,900 feet of climbing. It’s a hard one but sooooo beautiful. And quiet. Along the 9 mile stretch of Tunitas Creek Rd. I encountered a grand total of 7 cars. It’s my very favorite ride in the bay area! And the weather was great - blue skies even along the coast. I definitely plan on doing this ride a lot this year. If anyone else wants to come, lemme know.
Also, the time has come for me to start fundraising for the AIDS ride…please help by making a donation if you can. Thank you!!

This is so awesome! I love the pics! What type of camera do you have? Very clear shots may! You go on so many cool adventures you need to bring me next time!! I’m moving out there soon, it’s been crazy lately but I move on the 30th of May!!
thanks! i just carry a small pocket camera when i’m on my bike. it’s a pentax optio. i like it because it’s waterproof and has withstood being dropped a gajillion times :-)
