Biking
is a lot of fun - especially with friends in really beautiful terrain.
I enjoy both road and mountain biking, though I tend to stick
to trails. I'm one of these strange people that likes biking up hills
more than speeding down them. Here I am having biked to the
top of "the loop" in the Santa Cruz mountains - at Skyline boulevard.
I have been introduced to several fun rides in the Bay Area, including the Palo Alto foothills loop, a Tiburon loop, and an extended version to Stinson beach. My typical rides are to work and back - a little over 10 miles between Palo Alto and Redwood City. Here is the story of one of the longer day bike trips.
The century ride (100 miles) still eludes me, but hopefully this will happen soon. I look forward to a couple more trips that I have heard are excellent -
If you know of other great trails in the Bay Area, email me.
A good starting place for Mountain Biking in the Bay Area is found here.
