The way points of this bicycle route:

start here

first drop down crestview.

edgewood & crestview

end of rapid descent, time to climb

edgewood and 280

under the freeway, avoiding getting run over by the fuv's in a hurry to burn petrol on the main road ...

edgewood and canada

with a tilde on the n: time to head south

under the freeway again

redwood city

watch out for the sherriff's fatboys here. favourite spot to collect $100 for the country

woodside

warning: rich snooty people who hate cyclists

e.larry's samurai manor

genuflect or hork as you pass the grate man's monument to hisself

woodside

watch out for the sherriff here, too.

portola and sand hill

the sherriff's fatboys sometimes lurk here, too. the right turn isn't bad, the corresponding left is. be careful.

portola and old la honda

a nice climb marred by anti-cyclist fuv owning residents who attend the town's cycling committee trying to get us banned from "their" road ...

portola valley

top of a long slow drag. height gain of about 10m

portola valley

another upward drag - this one doesn't look hard but is

portola and alpine

turn left onto a quick descent

arestradero and alpine

turn tight onto really rough pavement (you'd hardly know how rich the swine are in these parts)

open space preserve

nice fast downhill.

arestradero and page mill

page mill and arastedero

short steep climb by the freeway

arestradero and purissima

bottom of the hill after crossing under the freeway

los altos hills

arestradero and west fremont

arestradero and foothill

an ugly intersection. if it takes under 5 minutes to get a green light, you're doing good!

palo alto

arestradero and el camino. you've just traversed a busy, excessively stoplighted, broken pavement mess through another rich town. they keep their money for themselves ...

charleston and alma

cross the commuter rail

charleston and middlefield

rare to get this light

charleston and san antonio

nasty busy intersection

san antonio and 101

this is as bad as it gets, thankfully

mountain view

san antonio and east bayshore

east bayshore and garcia

used to be the headquarters of sun microsystems, now it's intuit...

garcia and charleston

google hq

don't forget to genuflect to the "new evil" ...

charleston and shoreline

an excessively annoying light, thankfully a bit better now googlites have to cross the street (to get to the other side)

end

factory.
