Did you miss your chance to see the 2023 wildflower bloom? Don't worry - it's still happening up in PV. This is a short climbing ride where you will be rewarded by views that never get old, and hills alive with the strong yellow hues of wild daisies and mustard.
NOTE:
Full disclosure - there will be two short segments, ~1 kilometer each, on hard packed dirt paths. *Any* road bike will be fine, you don't need a special bike.

Here's a view of the switchbacks from Dean Dana, taken on Friday (April 21) :

Coffee stop at the end will be at the Coffee bean on Hawthorne and Skypark , or Coffee Cartel  in the Village.

32.1 mi, 2635 ft, Ocean Trails and Dean Dana - Ride Leader : Mario  

Pace : L2
Ride start is 9am, at the plaza just south of Captain Kidd's
The Tuesday ride varies by design. If you want novelty, this is your ride. Routes vary between ~35-55 miles, 1000-3000 feet of climbing, typically in the middle third of the distance range (41-49 miles). If we go to an eating place, expect a "digestion pace" on the return.

Often there is a destination (a vista point, climb, point of interest, etc). We often go to places that would be crowded on a weekend (eg, Hollywood Sign, Inspiration Point, Porto's, etc). We are usually done by 1-2pm, and a coffee or meal stop is customary (usually at the end; sometimes that's the destination).
