Route
Took my second fun ride. Pacheco Pass/152 to 156 to 101. Nice easy road on 152. Not too much traffic. Winds on 156 moderate gusting with flips to the opposite direction which made for some interesting, somewhat difficult riding. I was going to make a left just after San Juan Batista, go to 101 and then home but missed the turn, so I went straight to 101 then dropped south to San Juan Road and went into Watsonville. Temperatures dropped a good 20 degrees in Watsonville. Came out of there on 129 and moved over to 152 heading home. I stopped by Gizdich Ranch for some Olallieberry Pie a la mode. Yum! Since I was in Watsonville and not able to do any group rides with South Bay Riders Forum Members, I just had to stop. Made it my own pie ride. I really want to do next weeks cruiser ride but it's an all day affair and I just can't get away that long. After my yummy pie, I came over 152/Hecker Pass for the first time. Rode my own pace which worked well with the traffic flow. No problems on any turns except a couple near the beginning. The pavement was kind of torn up and choppy but not a problem at lower speed. The rout shows, I did Santa Teresa on my final leg but, I actually dropped down 1st Street to Church and come home through neighborhoods because of the Gilroy Garlic Festival. I would have been trapped in traffic and forced into the festival parking area if I had gone the normal way. Total time for the ride about 2 hours with pie stop and everything.
