Pebble Beach

We did our version of the 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach; on our bikes of course.  The 17 mile drive is a scenic road through the town of Pebble Beach.  It hugs the coastline and passes several famous golf courses and some very large houses.  It is unusual in that non-residents are charged a $9.50 fee to enter with a car.  Since we were on our bikes, it was a freebie for us.

The first portion of the ride was fabulous.  The traffic was slow and the road wide; the views were stunning.  After our lunch break, the road got a bit more narrow and the traffic was too much to bear.  We decided to get out the GPS and find a safer way back.  In the end, it worked out great. We took a winding shortcut through some Pebble Beach neighborhoods that were really interesting.

Here is a link to the Pebble Beach Resort website with some more information.
