(Big) Basin Road Blues

The way points of this bicycle route:

At this point, I had no clue how steep it would get

A few Italian cyclists passed me and started laughing

I kept pace with the Italians

The Italians disappeared...

What's a gulch?

It wasn't meant to be...I had to turn around, too steep and too dark, there was nothing but redwoods around me...

Going down was terrifying...I was easily going 30mph and there were cyclists passing me like I was standing still!

Stopped at the Saratoga History Museum and looked at a bunch of old Ford Model As from 1931.

Route Details

Pedaling a mountain bike up past Saratoga is a _itch! Almost made it to Skyline, but the air was too thin.
