• A pre Turkey-Day ride to get ready for this year's much more socially distant Thanksgiving.

Then, south to play in the Los Gatos and Saratoga HIlls, followed by Kennedy, then Shannon.  We'll come back via the Cupertino maze, with a few different variations near the end, just to show everyone my favorite version of the maze, using Beauchamps and Seven Springs to avoid Prospect, Rainbow, and Bubb - roads which can be on the busy side.

  Elevation: 3313 ft.
  Lunch: Los Gatos City Park ~ mile 29.
