The ride from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay involves another section of road that is dreaded by bicyclers. It is 3 miles of a very narrow, two-lane, winding road with NO shoulders for most of the section. It is known as Devil's Slide and is a moderately steep ascent and descent and can have a lot of traffic including sports cars who like to speed around the corners. God again blessed us with not a lot of traffic and no zooming sports cars. Everyone gave us a lot of room and there were even unexpected pull-offs where Sharla made sure we pulled off and she caught her breath. Overcast and foggy all day with a bit of a head wind but overall, it was a good 34 mile ride.
Hi guys, Bob Johnson told me about your trip. What an adventure! My wife, Ann, and I just completed a supported trip with a group from Bandon, OR to Half Moon Bay, so you have been right behind us. Interesting to read your experiences along the same route. Look forward to reading about the rest of your trip, which we'll ride next spring. Be safe. Henry Klaiman
