Location: Hwy 92 X Canada Road.   Map

Come with us for a South Bay Tour.  This is a rolling route with no single climb exceeding 500' but it still racks up a respectable cumulative total of +4,600' spread over roughly 6 climbs; 71.88 feet/mile Hilliness rating. We ride by Crystal Springs Reservoir, Portola Valley,  Pearson Arastradero, Foothill, Stevens Creek Park, Alameda de las Pulgas; be sure to save a little in the tank for Edgewood climb  at mile 57 followed by a final 4 mile "sweet spot" effort on Canada Road that is flat but can be windy.  After the ride, pack up your bike and let's meet over at Sal's Burgers  just 2.4 miles east at 92 and W. Hillsdale at Laurelwood Shopping Center: 3158 Campus Drive, San Mateo, CA 94403.   Refuel with a milkshake that you can stand a spoon in served in a mason jar; "Broke da Mouth" alert! SF Patty Melt, classic Burger, Kufta Burger of a Mediterranean spiced beef patty, Loaded Steak Fries--juicy pieces of steak, bell peppers, onions and fries piled into a mound of meat lovers' delight, Buffalo Chicken Fries-(that's really a thing, and truly a genius combo) and much much more.   After that it's an easy peasy Hwy 101 drive back home.
