Pescadero

Cycling Route

Details
58.79 mi
6,459 ft
Consisting of challenging climbs and unbeatable views, you'd be hard pressed to find a local cyclist not willing to recommend the Pescadero Loop. Beginning up the Bay Area's most famous climb, Old La Honda, riders are guaranteed to be panting for air by the time they reach the mailboxes at the top. From there it's a fun descent through the town of La Honda and on to the next climb, Pescadero Creek Road. Refuel in Pescadero before heading along the coast and up the famous Stage Rd. segment. Next, you'll tackle the seemingly never ending (but incredibly stunning) Tunitas Creek Road. After conquering this monstrous climb, it's only a flowing descent down Kings Mountain back into Woodside. * Woodside Bakery
