37 mi, 5 L-LM, 3000 ft
Billy Goat
Montebello
Westside edition - take Montebello to the Ice Cream Social! This fond annual tradition has been in the compassionate custody and commanding care of contributing couple Russ and Sheila Stevens for many years now. Social will culminate between 1 & 3pm at [2451 South Park Lane, Santa Clara] . Westside Tinlickers like myself will start from [Prospect High School], and go up Montebello, but you can pick your origins and geologic epoch from a blank palette unhindered by insurance or political constraints, so long as you time your existence and arrival while the cool cream treats avail.

Grizzly Bear
5 Or More Cities
Meet William Mueller at 9:45 AM at the Campbell Community Center, 1 Campbell Ave (meet behind the skate park) for a 10:00 START. The route starts in Campbell, then goes over two short but steep (>15%) climbs to reach the Stevens Creek Reservoir. We then head down the canyon and cross through Sunnyvale to the Baylands, where we take the San Tomas Aquinas Trail to get to the Ice Cream Social. Return is via Los Padres. Although classified a grizzly, this is definitely not a flat ride. However we can wait at the top if you need to hoof some of the steeper bits. Rain or AQI>100 cancels. Print or download route here.
