This week's HillsRUs starts from Monta Vista Park in Cupertino and goes to Big Basin by way of Redwood Gulch, Castle Rock, and Bear Creek Road. We return along Highway 236 and backtrack down Highway 9 and Redwood Gulch. Riders are free to bypass Redwood Gulch on the way back, but it is the most direct way and many people prefer not to finish the ride with a climb up Mt Eden Road.

Though temperatures are going to fall a bit going into the week, it doesn't look like this ride will be as wet and cold as when I led last month. Famous last words.

62 miles of riding with 7000 feet of elevation gain.
