Beautiful ride! Beginner friendly. Watch out for MTBers bombing down. Old San Pedro was the old connector between Pacifica and Montara before HWY 1 was built in the late 1930s - it's still partially paved but really broken up. On the way up from Pacifica is narrower (mostly double track, sometimes narrows to single track - still paved!) and is much wider on the descent side going into Montara.
