2.5 MILES: Wander a wild beach

3.5 MILES: Consider a doozy of a detour
If you’ve still got energy when you hit the turnoff for 17-Mile Drive, pedal south through the Pacific Grove Gate (free for cyclists) to soar through the famously spectacular mix of velvet fairways and craggy coastline. If you’ve had enough cycling, turn north on 17-Mile Drive instead, then right onto Lighthouse Avenue, where you can explore downtown P.G. before sprucing up for dinner.Next4.7 miles: Dig into dinner
