Ride Description

41 mi, 3 LM-M, 2074 ft; 5 Or More Cities

Starting at the Congregational Church (Leigh and Hamilton, west parking lot on Leigh), we will venture west to Rancho San Antonio (RSA) Park, wind our way thru Los Altos Hills and take a shortcut ("Dirty Moody", <1 mile of easy dirt trail suitable for all bikes makes this mixed terrain) up to PA Foothills Park for great views to the north and east. We'll return via Foothill Expwy and Prospect. Although classified a grizzly, THIS IS NOT A FLAT RIDE (2074 ft of climbing). The climb out of RSA is steep but short but the views are worth it. No one left behind. Refresh/re-fuel at the Pruneyard after. Start location: 1980 Hamilton Ave., San Jose, CA [Route/Map]
