Coastal Ride - Half Moon Bay

Sunday's ride was out to the coast. I've done this ride solo before, but it was wonderful to have Dennis along to help push me. The main route is up Old La Honda and out to the coast. We peeked in at San Gregorio to check out the General Store. Next time I'll bring my wallet as the danishes looked delicious!

We continued up Hwy 1 to Half Moon Bay where we ate lunch at the San Benito House on Main Street. They bake their bread fresh and have the most delicious sandwiches! This is also a good place to fill up water and use the restrooms. Dennis and I both agreed that only half a sandwich may be a better idea before attacking the 92 and skyline hill climb next time.

Hwy 92 ocean side wasn't as bad of a climb as I expected, and we hammered up the incline. I'm not sure if I was just tired or if the sandwich was weighing me down, but skyline felt as if it would never end. It was a long and arduous hill climb, and Dennis didn't help by saying the down hill should be coming up after every turn. We passed Alice's and topped off the water bottles at Roberts Market. Dennis split off at Alameda but next time he'll finish the ride because Melissa met up with me and treated me to some delicious yogurt at the Corner Yogurt in Redwood City.

Great Ride Dennis!
