This is my last HRU as a leader, and I wanted to pick one of the routes I created during my 7 year tenure.  San Bruno Mountain tempted me, but the FFS did much of it last Saturday, so instead let's do another slightly unusual ride, which is Summit/Skyline to Page via Lexington and Redwood estates.  This is a great time of year to do this.

This route does have some dirt - the Los Gatos Creek trail from Los Gatos to Lexington, but it's slow and uphill, so it's pretty safe.  There are some steep pitches on the climb, although it's a stair step climb, so there are good spots to dial it back and rest along the way.

Meet at Shoup Park for a 9AM roll.

57 miles, with about 5400 feet of climbing.

Lunch at the Redwood Estates Neighborhood Park, just before we hit Summit.  There is water at the park.  Bring food or buy food and/or drink at the store on the way up the climb - at mile 26.
