From Panera the group will ride to Thompson and regroup at the old Hart Velo. After leaving on Thompson we will ride to Nipomo HS and check out the native plant show. Leaving the HS we’ll ride down to a left turn at Summit (just past the 101 overpass) then a left on Hetrick. This route will get us to Willow. After a right turn the group will meet up at the Willow Cafe for coffee and stories. The return home will start on Pomeroy and head to Orchard and , for those crazy ones, a run up 166. This ride will be around 36 miles with a few gentle but long climbs.
