51 mi, 3 M, 2662 ft; Croy,Llagas/Willow Springs

This is a final training ride to build readiness for the Tierra Bella metric century (65 mile), or just ride for fun. We will start in Morgan Hill and head to Gilroy for the scenic out-and-back on Redwood Retreat. We then head north around Uvas Reservoir and ride up the mellow hills of Croy Rd to a rest stop in the Uvas Canyon park. After descending Croy, we finish with an up-and-back on Willow Springs, then over Llagas back to the start. Bathrooms and water but no food on the route so bring your own nourishment. Afterwards, an option to reward yourself and rehash the fun at Running Shop and Hops, with several food options nearby.

Start/end at the parking lot on Depot St at 2nd St in Morgan Hill. Start location: Depot St & 2nd St, Morgan Hill, CA [Route/Map]
