Tue 3/31 SEX 620 LSR Style 2.5

[Cordelia Link]

Alemany/Lyell at 640. Equivalent to 630 RRR. 

Aiming for 16.5 rolling. I'll probably do Portola Valley. 

Regroups:

-top of Callan (at the jiffy lube) 
-right before the second 280 
-top of Crystal Springs at the end of SCT (this is the rest point) 
-top of Polhemus 
-(optional) behind Robert's market

Oops I forgot about this path closure thing. Consider this on hold until I figure out what detour options are.

Recommend Hallmark-Crestview. Stay on Polhemus past bike path. It turns into Ralston. First major right is Hallmark (there's a minor right before) That's well paved rollers fo a barrier between abutting cul de sacs. Cross the barrier, climb a steep hill, ride a very scenic ridge, descend a steep fast and well paved descent to Edgewood, go right to Canada. Be careful on Edgewood: it's dangerous where it crosses 280, like most freeway interchanges. Alternates include going left at Edgewood to Alameda (traffic lights) or the Emerald Hills maze which is very nice but adds a lot of steep climbing.

It is slower but very worthwhile. Bunker is likely faster but Bunker has more extended steepness which makes it a considerable challenge.

Or we could do dirty hipster sex #3... I hope to do that some day this week regardless.

Hallmark/Crestview might actually be faster than the usual Ralston-bike-path-to-Cañada, depending on which way you go (and what your ultimate destination is). My fastest (or at least shortest, time-wise) Skylines have been via H/C—I go left on Edgewood and then right on whatever-it-is that leads to Canyon, Jefferson, and Alameda. 

However, I go to Menlo Park not Mountain View. Colijn, iirc, you said you've also saved time, though, going this way?

The dirt option is cool. I've often wondered about that scenic viewpoint interchange when on 280 in a car. It's got to be the least utilized freeway overpass per dollar invested in the Bay Area. An artifact of when 280 was considered a scenic drive, the auto version of a popular hiking trail? I've never ridden it.

There was that discussion about Sheep Camp trail from a while back...

I can help navigate the H/C route if folks want tomorrow. Though I will be heading to Alameda after H/C, so it won't be convenient for doing Portola Valley.

Let's do Sheep Camp. I'll repost with corrected subject line and details.
