SF (russian hill) 2 San Mateo route help pls

[Lindsey Barrett]

Hey! First timer here on SF2G. 

I'd like to commute to Freshworks (in San Mateo) and want help on a route - my husband pointed me here and used to ride. Anyone riding (S3) the same direction or could help with a route?

Hi Lindsey-

I'm planning on riding down on Thursday. Happy to ride S3 and get you most of the way (you'll need to navigate the final few miles from Hilsdale and Edgewater yourself).

That said, I'm an early rider and like to roll closer to 5:30 AM.

thank you for the response! 5:30 is too early for me -any chance you could send me a route? or go later with me?

Hi Lindsey!

Did you check out the route on the SF2G website? Here you go: https://sf2g.com/bayway.html

The basic (flat) route is https://sf2g.com/bayway.html but given the construction in the last 10+ years we should probably update that strava track. I haven't ridden it in years so I can't really help with it. I used to work in Foster City though and used Hillsdale caltrain!

Depending on how comfortable you are with merging with cars, there's a few different ways to do the last leg:

* Hillsdale Blvd -> Saratoga -> Frankllin Blvd is a straight shot but has merges going across 101, probably the most traffic (blue line)

* E 3rd ave -> S Delaware: probably the one I'd recommend, E 3rd has a bike path in the center of the overpass (accessible by crosswalks w/ signals) and S Delaware has (unprotected) bike lanes but is otherwise a straight shot. (purple line)

* There's also this little path thingy from Fashion Island blvd that ends up on 19th Ave -> S Delaware, but I don't think I've ever taken that route across the water. 19th ave iirc was fine but fairly industrial. (yellow)

the red line is the route from the link

yeah we need to update some of the example routes for sure. perhaps Mr. Colijn or others out there have some recent tracks we could use. mine are pretty ancient at this point. as I recall, the <embed> link is only available to the person who uploaded the ride.

Thanks for all the help and info! 1st commute down was a success thanks to Samuel. Also nice meeting Michael (another SF2Ger) at the tail end! After the new year would like to make thursdays a regular thing so if anyone wants to ride together, would love to meet up! That route is insanely confusing so I'll need to do that a few more times before I can do it on my own :)

Fellow newbie here who would love to join up on Thursdays in the New Year 👍 I've been riding to the Caltrain and then from the San Mateo or Hillsdale stations to my office in Foster City for most of the year, so I know those areas pretty well. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the route from SF, so I can't be any help there immediately, but excited to pick it up over a few rides!

I rode the bayway this AM for the first time. Started at 5:15 AM what made for no / little traffic on Third. All in all not bad however slower than I thought due to some construction and traffic lights.

I think the route is still largely as posted on the SF02 site. 

I attached my route file from this morning - I did stream line it here and there a bit, and will continue to do so..  (—> I recommend Komoot as route builder /scouting tool —> google street view built in..  )

Biggest difference I noticed: going through Coyote Point Park is not possible right now due to construction. But you learn that only once you are almost through.

Ride file attached or here: https://www.strava.com/athletes/5256294

Going forward I am trying to ride this on Fridays and possibly Thursdays. Depending on the meeting schedule.

Yeah, Coyote Point has had a detour for quite some time. They do have signs and a detour arrow but are quite easy to miss.

That said, as of a couple of weeks ago, the first half of Coyote Point is open again (see attached)
