The KP Team did the annual trek from Los Gatos to the coast over the Feb. 20-21 weekend. This year we opted to ride over to Half Moon Bay (HMB), instead of the past few years going to Costanoa. Pete and Shari lived in HMB for 4 years and know the area well. The weather was a bit suspect, but we managed to stay dry on the ride over on Saturday. Our route took us up and over Old La Honda and down to the coast for a total of 67 miles. After a quick stop at the San Gregorio store, we headed North to HMB. Once there, we did a quick 3 mile run along the coastal bike path in some drizzling rain.
Saturday night was spent at the San Benito House bar, then on to Sushi Main Street. The dinner was great, and then it was back for some dancing and drinks at the SB House! Fun times were had by all, as we had the banjo band playing until way past when they should have gone home!
Sunday morning was the Mavericks Run, which takes you out on the the blufftops above Mavericks surf spot. It is a beautiful run, even when it is raining. We came back to a great breakfast at the Zaballa House, then back on the bikes for the ride back to LG. The ride home was a little slow & wet to start, but once over Tunitas Creek and down to Woodside, it was a nice dry ride the rest of the way.
All in all, it was a great training weekend and an even funner time in HMB!!! Everyone in attendance gave a big thumbs up for a return in 2011!!! Zaballa House is where we’ll stay!
