We got rained out last Saturday - let us hope for better this Saturday (Feb 3).
Meet at Passion Trail Bikes at 9:15 to carpool or at Skeggs Point Parking Lot at 10:00 am (plan to be ready to ride by 10:15). We will see what trails are open (there are a few seasonal closures) and make a good loop so we get a 2 to 3 hour ride in. Expect some good technical trails and a fair amount of climbing. Bring appropriate food and water, and necessary equipment (helmets are required).
Directions: Skeggs Point is a CalTrans parking lot above the town of Woodside on Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) between Highway 92 and Woodside Road (Highway 84).
- from the north, go up Highway 92 to Skyline Blvd. Make a left onto Southbound Skyline and go for about 9 miles. Skeggs point is the vista point on the left hand side of the road - you'll see a rock retaining wall there. You'll also see a no left turn sign, which you should abide by. Drive about a quarter mile further (to where the road straightens out) to the pull outs, and make a U-turn and return to the parking lot.
- from the south, Take Highway 84 (Woodside Road) west to the "Skylonda" intersection with Skyline Blvd (hwy 35). Turn right onto Skyline Blvd, and take it north for about 4 miles. The "Skegg's Point" parking lot is on the right and is labeled with signs saying "Vista Point".
Weather reports says we should be fine, but should they be wrong - rain on day of ride or heavy rain the day before will cancel. I will post here by 8am if we are canceling (no post means we are riding!).
Need info, contact me through my profile.
