Giro di Penninsula

[Bike Goddess]

VeloGirl- You said it right! I think we could have beat all those cars down 92 to Half Moon Bay (love that downhill!).

Aha- I"ll bet that's the difference in mileage! One rider said her friend did an extra loop out on the metric so he could get in an official metric. I was pretty bummed as I had planned the ride to be part of my twice weekly metric routine!

Talked with a guy from my club who started out on the century route, but came in early as he had other plans for the day. He said Tunitas Creek wasn't as hard as Diablo (North Side) so maybe I'll do the century next year!

I'd love to do Page Mill to the top. I did that on a 10 speed steel bike in the 60's so it would be fun to see what it's like 40 years later and 40 years older! Also passed La Honda Rd which I'd love to do one of these days as well. It's just so far away and the traffic getting to the peninsula is a big pain!

My husband used to do Page Mill on his old Schwinn 5 speed (with rear baskets none the less) back when we were grad students at Stanford. One of our classmates was a die hard cyclist and he just couldn't believe it! He finally bought himself a road bike after we got out of school and that's still what he rides! (1981 Miyata...)

It was really fun revisiting some of my haunts. That was in the days when I just started really getting in biking... took a long hiatus when my kids were young and just getting back into again and remembering why I enjoyed it so much!

The riding over there is so much nicer than the East Bay... the roads are in so much better shape! I thought Canada Rd was wonderful, and I've always like the Portola Valley Loop!

Smiley- We really do have some nice roads in the East Bay. Come do the Bears with us sometime. Great roads,(except for Alhambra where there are two slides from this past season)and not a lot of traffic.

Also, Mines road is in good shape and no traffic up there either. You can find em, just requires looking a bit!

Yeah the bears are good - I live by there (near the summit of Happy Valley). We did Alhambra a few weeks ago and was amazed at the slides!

I want to do Mines and also try the Morgan Territory route - just waiting for a non-heat wave weekend!

We'll do another Mines Rd ride in the fall when it cools down! Yeah, lots of slides on Alhambra. McEwen is currently closed as well for paving purposes I believe. Have you done that one yet?

Sounds like you live near us- I'm in Benicia.
