Ride Description

Meet Robert Neff (robert@neffs.net, 6508041245) at 8:15 AM at Gunn High School. Leave at 8:30.  Or hop on as we ride south on Foothill/Stevens Canyon.  Climb Redwood Gulch, Highway 9, and Skyline to our high point just past Castle Rock St. Park.  Continue on Skyline and Summit past 17 to Loma Prieta Way, to the junction with another Summit Road.  That's almost the high point, and has fabulous views to Monterey Bay.  Return with a sit-down break at Summit Store, then descend Old Santa Cruz Highway, the trail from Lexington to Los Gatos, and continue home.  Bring Snacks, (Summit store is at Mile 50, and after most of the climb), sunscreen, and 2 water bottles.  Participants welcome to skip Loma Prieta Way, leave me in the dust, or investigate shady Wrights Station Road instead.  You will enjoy sitting down and watching fireworks after this ride.  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39201457
