A local start L2 option for Saturday : Malibu Cross Creek and Pepperdine Hill. 

For riders not quite ready for a 5K climbing day, Mark Steubs will lead a ride to Cross Creek. The route is a flat coastal ride until Pepperdine hill. We will then descend into Malibu Civic Center village for a coffee/snack stop at Blue Bottle Coffee before the return leg. If you're not up to climbing the hill, just turn into the village and save space for the hill climbers at the coffee stop. :-)

On PCH we expect to do an L2 pace (~19mph) with a stable paceline
