Ride Description

47 mi, 1 LM, 408 ft; 2 Or More Trails

Meet at 9:15 am for 9:30 departure at the Congregational Church, (west parking lot on Leigh at Hamilton). We'll make our way to the San Tomas Aquino Trail, connect to the Bay and Adobe Creek Trails (great shorebird viewing), and return via the Stevens Creek Trail. This route has about 7 miles of dirt that is absolutely suitable for road bikes with 25s. Parts are a bit bumpy, but very ridable and not necessarily worse than some pavement around. Refresh and refuel at Shoreline Lake mid-ride (optional) and the Pruneyard (<1 mile from the start) after. Note that e-bikes are technically and stupidly prohibited in PA Baylands, but I'll be riding mine. As are all my rides, no one left behind. Note the detour due to Bay Trail closure. Start location: 1980 Hamilton Ave., San Jose, CA [Route/Map]
