    Monterey, maybe?
    I just have the Friday to ride, then we are with my parents in San Jose.
    I must be a real dork, cuz I can't figure that site out?? HELP!

    Okay, here's the route...
    To starting point…

    280 north to foothill expressway (Los Altos). Exit Foothill Expressway, turn right and take an immediate right into parking lot (Chevron)… park near back corner (there’s a bike shop on the back side.

    Take Foothill Expressway North
    R at Alpine (Foothill dead ends)
    L at Sand Hill (you will eventually cross over 280)
    L on Portola (Sand Hill sorta turns into Portola)
    R on Alpine
    Left on Page Mill Road
    R onto Foothill Expressway
    Follow Foothill back towards starting point but continue past starting/road becomes Stevens Canyon
    L at “Y” up Mt Eden Road
    R onto Pierce
    L onto Hwy 9
    R onto Hwy 9 (this is where there is a big intersection after going through Saratoga)
    L on Quito (traffic isn’t allowed to turn left here so you’ve got to watch for the street)
    L on Cox
    R on Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road
    L on Prospect
    R on Stelling
    L on McClellan
    R on Stevens Canyon
    Follow Stevens canyon back to start (remember it turns into Foothill Expressway)

    Approximately 57 miles

    there are some slight changes from the initial gmaps route, this one is better; it's a beautiful ride with several places to stop to use restrooms/get water/coffee break etc.
