Re: SF Peninsula s24 overnight? was Re: [RBW] S24O: Crystal Cove, 6/27
hello, july 31st (as well as august dates) would work well. it looks like i can probably carpool to the start with my friend. caltrain would have worked well as far as public transport goes ... perhaps the start could be near one of those stops in case other car- less riders want to join. :) brooke On Jul 4, 3:25 pm, Christopher Paul zdree...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings, August 9th I'm riding from Sunnyvale to San Luis Obispo.

I'm pretty sure that I'm up for it, as long as it doesn't bug anyone that I'd be the slowest one up the hill. I'll get to the top eventually.

hello:) i would definitely be up for this in late july (after 7/22) (as would my romulus-owning friend who kindly pointed me towards this post). i'd prefer a start somewhat near public transportation as i am carless and live in berkeley. i've done several bike touring trips with my homer and it is such fun. :) brooke appler On Jun 17, 12:48 pm, Anne Paulson anne.paul...@gmail.com wrote: I'm just finishing up the semester and haven't scheduled anything yet.

Re: SF Peninsula s24 overnight? was Re: [RBW] S24O: Crystal Cove, 6/27
Is there a campground at the top of Page Mill? Are you thinking of Black Mouintain (http://www.openspace.org/activities/ ideas_for_campers.asp)? Another possibility could be to descend on the hike n' bike at Half Moon Bay SP. There is also camping in Portola State Park, but it is a mighty steep climb coming out... I think the biggest barrier to getting out for an S24H is the whole need a reservation thing (besides securing a quick furlough from parental responsibiities). Anybody else on the SF peninsula have S24H spots they're willing to divulge? BTW, this looks to be the last summer of cheap and always available bike 'n hike accomodations in CA state parks, since they're all going to close due to the failure of our state govt to fix the budget disaster This is tragic. I've GOT to get away for at least a 3-4 nighter this summer while I still can -br --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Sanborn Park, at the top of Sanborn Road (above Saratoga), could be a perfect overnight getaway. It's not as much climbing as Black Mountain, but still a respectable distance.

I'm fond of Grant Ranch Park partway up Mount Hamilton Road, though from my house it involves a tedious ride through San Jose before one gets to the good stuff.

Re: SF Peninsula s24 overnight? was Re: [RBW] S24O: Crystal Cove, 6/27
I'm interested. I would vote for Foothills Park if someone in Palo Alto can come through--I'm in Mt View. I'm a bike camping newbie--tried Half Moon Bay with a small group last October and really liked it, but it's a tougher trip (big hill in both directions) from my place than I like to do for an overnight at my current fitness level. For a sub-48 if it's possible to stay 2 days... This weekend I'm going to Uvas Canyon (Morgan Hill) with a small group from the Almaden cycling club. I will report back... Grant Ranch sounds good--wonder if we could use light rail or Caltrain for part of the trip through San Jose if the group is not too large. I could probably be talked into most of these suggestions, including Half-Moon Bay. --Adele Newman Anne Paulson wrote: On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 9:56 AM, Bill Rheabillr...@yahoo.com wrote: Is there a campground at the top of Page Mill?
