I think of this ride as an HRU classic, but one I see we have not done it in quite a while. This is always the preferred direction, much as I love climbing Redwood Estates. And this route I found has the Montewood variation on the way back, which I've only done once. There is some dirt from Lexington to Los Gatos, along the creek trail.
Meet Steve Rempel at 8:45 for a 9:00 AM departure from Shoup Park.
58.5 miles, 5200' of climbing.
Lunch will be done at the little park at the top of Redwood Estates - on Bayview, so bring plenty of supplies. Rumor is the water at the fire station on Skyline, near H9, is not potable, so make sure and water up near the top of Page Mill. Next water stop after that is Castlerock, followed by Los Gatos. There is no water at lunch.
