The start is at Messhuga Coffee in Mission Hills. Start time will be at 08:00 to allow for the coffee social around 07:00 to kick off the autumn "Coffeeneuring" populaire with a good cup of coffee and pastries before rolling out into the cooler autumn breeze.
This populaire is a cruise along San Diego's coastal communities with gentle and not so gentle climbs to make the day worth while. From Mission Hills, you ease your way up to UCSD before descending down past Torrey Pines State Reserve to Ki's Restaurant in Cardiff, where a coffee, though not mandatory, is highly recommended. Turning south from Ki's, you start the "Blues" by first climbing Torrey Pines on road inside the park, followed by the renown "Via Capri" climb to Mt Soledad. When reaching Ocean Beach, you'll scale up Hill St to Cabrillo Monument, returning along Harbor Dr. Reynard Wy is the final climb before reaching the finish at Messuga Coffee.
Post ride Huddle can be at the Huddle on Goldfinch.
