If you choose this route, one small change: instead of Highway 84 up over the mountains, take the route all local cyclists take, Old La Honda Road. It starts maybe a mile or two south of Highway 84, is not steep, and is much quieter than, prettier than and in all ways superior to the Highway 84 ascent. At the top, just continue across Skyline and down the other side, ending on Highway 84 partway down to the coast. Oh, two small changes. Take CalTrain to Palo Alto, not Redwood City. That way you'll be in the good riding almost immediately, whereas with Redwood City there's a bit of tedious suburbs before the good stuff. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
