This is the annual Los Gatos Turkey Ride. Starting at Summit bikes, hundreds of people ride up Kennedy Road and then to the top of Kennedy Trail. This is a long, steep fireroad clim. There will be lots of people riding, walking or catching their breath. People typically bring food or drink to share with everyone else at the top.
