Big loop ride starting at the Saratoga Gap parking lot at the top of Hwy 9.

We will ride south on Skyline, then down Bear Creek to Boulder Creek. From there we'll do an up-and-back on lower Hwy 9 South then take a rest stop in Boulder Creek at the cafe on Middleton Ave.

We then venture across Hwy 236 to loop through Big Basin Redwoods State Park and finish with the climb up upper Hwy 9 South

Ride at your pace. Regroups at major intersections, Big Basin HQ and a Lunch stop in Boulder Creek. (Ambitious riders can choose to start in Saratoga and meet us at the parking lot at the top; less ambitious riders can skip the out-and-back on Hwy 9 South from Boulder Creek).
