MONTEREY
Road
Saturday: 7:00 am, Monterey Plaza @ Pino’s Italian Cafe Fast pace south through PG and Pebble beach and back. 38 miles. [map] This is Monterey's classic Saturday Morning Ride (SMR), always a good crowd of at least 20 and upwards of 100 riders on peak days. A challenging and scenic 38 mile hilly ride through Pebble Beach and back to Monterey for coffee at East Village Coffeehouse, formerly Morgan's, (498 Washington St).
Saturday: 7:30 am, a more moderate option to the 7am Heavy Metal ride. More of a B+ ride, compared to the A-riders. Same distance and total climbing as the 7 am ride. The group varies from 6 or 8 up to 20 or 25, depending on weather conditions and individual obligations. Same conclusion: East Village Coffeehouse, formerly Morgan's, in Monterey.
Saturday: 8:00 am, parking lot behind movie theater in Pacific Grove (intersection of Laurel Ave and 15th St) Essentially the same route as the 7:00am SMR. (through Pebble Beach, back for coffee at Goodie's in PG - 518 Lighthouse Ave). Moderate and faster pace; two groups. Tends to be a slightly more mellow ride, but still challenging and hilly and beautifully scenic.
