B ride: WAT/Aromas via Elkhorn

We&#39;ll gather at the West Marine parking lot on Westridge Drive...lots of parking. Gather at 8:45, roll out at 9:00AM.<br /><br />Join us for a nice 45-miler on this three-county tour that will delight you with its scenic variety and natural history. We&#39;ll start along the developing Watsonville Slough system, travelling through the coastal farmlands of the Pajaro Valley before climbing the southern bluffs into Monterey County. <br /><br />https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38153333<br /><br /> We&#39;ll descend to another coastal restoration project: the Elkhorn Slough, stopping briefly at the Kirby Park boat launch to take in the estuary. From there, we&#39;ll roll through the Prunedale hinterland toward our lunch destination - Aromas. Aromas straddles three counties, and if you choose to sample a burrito at Marshall&#39;s Store (highly recommended), you technically step into San Benito County...then cross the street back into Monterey County to lunch in the quaint community park. From there, it&#39;s back into the mighty Pajaro and Watsonville, but not returning before enjoying the Pajaro River levee trail, and cruising by the Buddhist Temple, home of the renowned Watsonville Taiko. <br /><br />Questions or comments welcome: Stephen Svete - 805-701-4245<br /><br />+++All riders must be vaccinated+++
