Description

Meet at Ritual Coffee https://w3w.co/caves.factor.marker at 8:30, rolling out at 9:00. We head south on Valencia, Tiffany and San Jose Ave to Glen Park, then Alemany to Daly City, where we head west on John Daly Blvd to Skyline Drive. We follow Skyline south, watching out for traffic and road debris. We catch San Andreas Trail (paved) at San Bruno Ave, then rejoin Skyline at Hillcrest Blvd. This is a multi-use path with speed limited to 15mph. Be aware of walkers and be courteous! Then, we take Skyline to Canada Road and follow it south to Woodside, where we stop at Roberts Market. From there, Mountain Home Road and Portola Road to the legendary Old La Honda Road climb (1,276 ft gain over 3.13 mi. 7.8%). At the top, we meet Skyline (again!) following it south to Page Mill. There’s another 700 ft of elevation gain along this 6-mile stretch. Be careful of the fast traffic here! Page Mill is a 5.7 mile descent - fast if there are no cars (but there will be cars) with some tight corners. We turn south on Foothill and cruise into Castro Street in Mountain View, where multiple lunch options await. Return to SF via CALTrain across the street, with trains on the :34 of each hour, arriving in SF 1:15 later. Bring your Clipper Card!
