Cranking up Tunitas

Location: 37.394335, -122.366967
A cool, dark climb covered in Redwoods, Tunitas Creek Road offers a private place for suffering. Due to the ride's early flat terrain, it's likely that the first break of the day may not get free until this first climb of note (which gains about 2,200 feet in 10 miles). © Rapha

The Spinnaker

Location: 37.857088, -122.479459
The peloton will roll out on a neutral warm-up through Sausalito from the Spinnaker Restaurant in historic Sausalito. If you're riding the stage yourself and looking for a pre-ride caffeine boost, check out Caffe Trieste, just a quarter-mile west at 1000 Bridgeway.

Riding the Gate

Location: 37.816972, -122.478333
The Tour of California peloton will be the first ever to cross the Golden Gate Bridge on the main road. Unfortunately mere mortals are still relegated to the bridgeside path. © Rapha

Stage 2 Official Start

Location: 37.798315, -122.478923

The Great Highway

Location: 37.777737, -122.513008
The Pacific Coast stretches out to the horizon as the route curls south on the Great Highway. This view is just an appetizer of vistas to come. © Rapha

Golden Gate Park

Location: 37.765874, -122.510079

View from the 1

Location: 37.747033, -122.508631
Highway 1: Where bicycles come to play with the Pacific.

Approaching Devil's Slide

Location: 37.585296, -122.514210
As Highway 1 departs from Pacifica the road narrows and spits out onto the exposed contour of a steep bluff (known to locals as Devil's Slide).

Healthy Shoulder

Location: 37.547436, -122.512493
Some stretches of the 1 have ample shoulder; others don't.

Moss Beach Agriculture

Location: 37.516943, -122.498932
California's agricultural landscape extends to the tip of the Pacific in Moss Beach.

Skyline Boulevard

Location: 37.425218, -122.313066
Covered in trees, Skyline offers a winding and twisting descent to La Honda.

Alice's Restaurant

Location: 37.386731, -122.265043
Riding with friends? Here's good spot to regroup after dropping down the backside of Tunitas. © Rapha

San Gregorio Creek Valley

Location: 37.313451, -122.325640
Heading down from La Honda back to Highway 1, the route traces an expansive coastal valley alongside San Gregorio Creek.

Snacktime at the San Gregorio Market

Location: 37.326932, -122.386794
Another great spot to pit stop at if you're riding any section of this route on your own. © Rapha

Back on Highway 1

Location: 37.308673, -122.404432
After descending from La Honda, the route returns to Highway 1 for more classic Pacific coast riding. If the winds are at your back, Highway 1 can be blissful. If they're not, well... © Rapha

Pigeon Point Light Station

Location: 37.181655, -122.394090
One of the tallest light houses in the U.S., Pigeon Point Light Station is well worth a short detour off the main route. The lighthouse keeper's housing has been restored as a hostel, so Pigeon Point is a great alternative for those riding a longer chunk of Highway 1 and looking to break up the trip.

Bonnie Doon Road

Location: 37.001182, -122.180243
Climbing north into the California redwoods, Bonny Doon is the last test of the day. It's got a modest bite to it (relative to other TOC climbs at least), and is placed far enough from the finish that whether the peloton will catch the break before Santa Cruz is a bit up in the air.

Stage 2 Finish Area
