24 mi, 2,071 ft, Switchback Practice - Ride Leader : Bob Kellogg

Starting from MB Pier at 8:30, we swing by Capt Kidd's, then head up to PV to warm up on some beginner-friendly trails.  But the focus of this ride is on the steep switchbacks behind the Malaga Cove library.  The goal is to ride up the switchbacks at least twice and maybe down once or twice.  The first part of this ride is suitable for beginners, but the switchbacks require a bit more experience.  A mountain bike would be best for this ride, but your ride leader will be on a gravel bike to practice for BWR.
