light, but did get passed by some teens going very fast.
Assume they’re from Foothill College West on 92
to Half Moon Bay Truck
going up was kind enough to use the turnout. Going down
from Skyline, passed a number of cars where shoulder allowed. Fell in
behind two bikers, a Kawie and another ricer, who rode together and
talked most the way. Traffic
returning from Half Moon Bay was slow, vowed to return home another way. South on
Main St. Parked
and walked the town. Very
pleasant. Would have been
more so with company. Bought a
sandwich, turkey on rye, not very good, ate half plus and Odwala. Headed
South on Main St. & South on 1 Stopped at
Bob’s pumpkin place. Walked
around for almost an hour taking pictures, enjoying the views. Continued
South on 1, considering cutting across on Stage Rd. What I thought was Stage, just before the bridge is actually
Pescadero. Poor condition,
ruts, pot holes, gravel. U-turned
and continued South on 1. Stage Rd.
is at the top of a bluff about a mile North of 84. I zoomed past it before realizing. East on
84, it is exactly 15 miles to the top.
9 miles to the Red Barn. Paddle
boards are pretty frequent. Down 84
into Woodside. Turned
right on Portola and left on Alpine. Arastradero
to Page Mill, Arastradero to Purissima behind Foothill College. Down El
Monte to Foothill Expressway. Foothill
to Stevens Creek to Deanza to home. 5:30,
odometer at 84.5 Totals: 3:30 elapsed, 85.1 miles, lotsa photos, some good for October desktops. |
