I have two words for you if you like to ride a bike and want some adventure.........Henry Coe.......just ask around, it's east of Gilroy. Go there and ride to your hearts content. Great place for "adventure" rides. Easy to put in 5-10K climbs in a day.<br /><br />Peace........Klegorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250986109944431112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-85936283508068824502011-03-09T19:12:02.316-07:002011-03-09T19:12:02.316-07:00Long time reader here, though I don't comment ...Long time reader here, though I don't comment much.

Speaking as a California transplant myself, I'm certain you'll end up loving it here. Although driving sucks remember that the "real" mountains of the Sierras are only a couple hours away.<br /><br />Seconding Henry Coe State Park as a place you need to visit on your bike. Miles of wilderness, steep hills, and remote staggering terrain.<br /><br /><br />-RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-70766458564135807562011-03-09T11:46:35.975-07:002011-03-09T11:46:35.975-07:00Hi Jill,

While your pics in Cali may not contain the ruggedness found in AK or Montana, Cali is still (obviously) a beautiful place, and you've quickly found ways to avoid the crowds. Of course you did! Also, it's not about where you are, it's about who you're with. You've never sounded happier in all the years I've been following along. Congrats to you and Beat. <br /><br />Also, know that despite living in such stunning surroundings up here in AK, I get a wee bit jealous of seeing warm sunshine and green in your pics. It's been beautiful up here, but I'm ready for spring! 40 degree weather, without the accompanying breakup of snow and ice and muck, sounds pretty damn good.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594012862383725477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-20521426902286855682011-03-09T10:51:42.213-07:002011-03-09T10:51:42.213-07:00Looking at your latest pictures reminds me that, f...Looking at your latest pictures reminds me that, for all the trade-offs involved with living in California, it still retains a unique, magical presence.

I know you can ride to the beach from Big Basin, I'm just not sure of the route from Los Altos since most of the Skyline-to-the-Sea trail is off limits to bikes I believe.

Two places that come to mind should be a perfect match: Henry Coe state park (vast, remote, wilderness, +200 miles of trails) and Big Basin / Butano (epic long rides or runs to the coast and back).

All of that open space is great, isn't it?<br />I'm flying out there today. Doing the CTR Canyon trail run Sat (Redwood Park). Am signed up for Brazen's Diablo 3/19 but still considering PCTR's Pirate's Cove (done that course 3 times).<br />As mentioned before, I am a life member of ACA and admire all of the inspirational cycling/other adventures you have done. Would love to chat sometime and maybe meet the guy who came in right after me at Redwood Park in '09. Drop me a note via email link or leave a comment on my blog--I've got CA Poppies/lupine pics on post before last and some neat critter pics, too).<br />All the best, Anntrailturtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752094947482643420noreply@blogger.com
