One of my favorite things to do
is ride up to Half Moon Bay for lunch at San Benito House. The homemade bread is mouth watering. I’m leading this ride again Saturday, September 6, 2014. We roll at 7:30 AM.
Photos from the last couple of times I led a ride to Half Moon Bay are here, here, and here – the route we’re following (below) is slightly different from the one in the pictures.

The route starts at the Los Gatos Park N Ride on Los Gatos-Saratoga Rd between University and N Santa Cruz Avenues then up Hwy 9 to Skyline. We travel up Skyline to Alpine and down a great descent to Pescadero then over to Stage and north. There are several places to get water along the way in Pescadero and San Gregorio. We continue north up to Tunitas Creek and inland through the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve then to the coast for lunch at San Benito House. The trip back to Los Gatos takes us up Tunitas Creek and down Kings Mountain through Woodside, Redwood City, Los Altos, and others back to Hwy 9 and the Park N Ride.
