[IZ] Palo Alto Bike, 7/20

Dist: 46.1 miles
Time: 3:46
Avg: 12.2 MPH

This was a new route for me and turned out to be very beautiful. I found it in a book called _San Francisco Peninsula Bike Trails_.

I took the Great Highway down to Skyline Boulevard, followed that up to Daly City and Pacifica, then switched to a paved multi-use trail between the road and a nice wooded area. After a while the trail ended and I switched over to the road and a little ways later the Camp Sawyer Trail begins, another paved trail winding through woods and along the Crystal Springs Reservoir. When this trail ended I rode along the very pretty Canada Road until Woodside and then Palo Alto. I took Caltrain back home.

I took the ride slowly. For one thing, I didn't have anything to eat except two Cliff Bars, and for another I wasn't familiar with the route. Also, the paved multi-use trails had just enough pedestrains to limit my speed to around 15 MPH.
