HillsRUs

HillsRUs rolls weekly on Wednesdays

Route often includes Hwy 9, Page Mill, Old La Honda, Kings Mountain, West Alpine or Tunitas Creek. Always be prepared for variable weather on Skyline. Foul weather in the hills keeps the ride in the valley.

A selection of routes can be found in the WW Ride with GPS Route Catalog > use tag "HRU".

  • Mt. Eden/Pierce, Peach Hill/Ojai, Kennedy/Shannon

    Wed, November 09, 2011 10:00 AM | Michael Khaw (Administrator)
    This week's route contains a short bike-path connector Google Maps doesn't know about, so it's in 2 parts. 48 miles, 3400 ft. ACTC goats: MEN Mt. Eden/Pierce, PHO Peach Hill/Ojai, SKE Shannon Kennedy. Lunch is at about mile 30 at the Los Gatos Town Plaza Park, so it'll be late, around 1:30-2 pm. The post lunch route meanders through Monte Sereno/Saratoga but we could shorten it by 2-3 miles by taking Hwy 9 to Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd instead.

  • Rain forecast, no route planned

    Wed, October 05, 2011 10:00 AM | Michael Khaw (Administrator)
    Currently (Saturday 10/1) the forecast is for rain Wednesday, so I'm not planning a route. If the situation improves, I'll post a route. Check back here or if you're subscribed via RSS you'll be notified automatically.

  • Mt. Eden/Pierce, Sanborn, Hwy 9

    Wed, September 28, 2011 10:00 AM | Michael Khaw (Administrator)
    36 miles, 4000 ft. ACTC goats: MEN Mt. Eden/Pierce, SNB Sanborn, 9NU Hwy 9 North Upper. No lunch stop (bring lunch to eat at CDF fire station near Saratoga Gap). Rain cancels, heavy fog or high winds changes route. I'm hoping this keeps us mostly in the shade for climbs, and it'll be pleasant up on Skyline.

    Cue sheet generated using googlemap_cuesheet from route: http://tinyurl.com/44m745p

    Cue sheet distance is slightly off because Google Maps won't make a U-turn in Sanborn Park where we want to turn around; instead it continues another 0.6 miles down into Lake Ranch Road.

    Distance:  37.73 miles
    Total Ascent: 5300 feet
