C/3/44; D/3/48 FALL FUN SERIES ROAD TO HENRY COE STATE PARK

  • Sat, October 24, 2015
  • 9:45 AM
  • Uvas Reservoir Park

This route is the way to Henry Coe State Park. The road starts going up about 10 miles from the start, at an average 8% grade (400 ft. up over one mile). A 200 ft. descent leads to the Anderson dam and a nice picnic area. The real climb starts after the picnic area: About 7.5 miles of climbing at a 7% average with steeper sections along the way. The good news is that the only way back to the start is mostly downhill. The views from the ranger station located near the top are spectacular. Soft drinks and snacks wait at the ranger station, while the route stops briefly for lunch at Erik's Deli near the end of the ride. Meet at 9:45 AM for a 10:00 AM start at the Uvas Reservoir Park. Directions: Tennant Rd exit, off 101. Right on Tennant. Left on Monterey, Right on Watsonville Rd, Right on Uvas Rd. Contact J.C. Sarner  jcsarner@msn.com or (650) 854-4125 for more information. Rain or extreme heat cancels.
