 Saturday: 7:00 am, Monterey Plaza a fast pace south through PG and Pebble beach and back. 38 miles. This is Monterey's classic Saturday Morning Ride (SMR), always a good crowd of at least 20 and upwards of 50 riders on peak days. A challenging, fast  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, Monterey Plaza  a more moderate option to the 7am ride.  Same distance and total climbing as the 7 am ride. The group varies from 10 to 25+.  Same conclusion: East Village Coffeehouse, formerly Morgan's, in Monterey.

Essentially the same route as the 7:00am SMR. (through Pebble Beach, back for coffee at Goodie's in PG - 518 Lighthouse Ave). A slightly more mellow ride than the 7:00 and 7:30 rides, but still challenging and hilly and beautifully scenic. [printable ride map]
