Tuesday Explorer: PV for wildflowers and ocean views

This year's bloom is not as strong as 2023, but still worth the annual trek to Deane Dana Park. We will avoid PV Drive South getting there.

This is a short climbing ride where you will be rewarded by ocean views and hills filled 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.

As a reminder of how strong it can get, here's a view of one of our club members basking in the waist high field of daisies in April 2023:


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).

"Beach Cities Cycling Club, South Bay" is a 501(c)7 non-profit mutual benefit organization.
