[QUOTE="Mr. BR, post: 1443998, member: 28246"] Nice story, Mark! (and now I see it was 6 mos ago!) Coincidently, I believe I was just on that same road this past Saturday morning around 8am. I’ve been trying to ride more these days since I’m no longer commuting. Thought I’d take small local loop and it had been years since I’d been on Bear Creek Rd up to Hwy 35. Should be easy! From Hwy17, went up Bear Creek and come to sign that says [I]Hwy 35/San Fran[/I] to the right… this is not a turn I was expecting. So I take it and it quickly becomes a narrow ONE lane road with VERY blind corners, (ie, 1st gear slow…). Fortunately, zero oncoming traffic but I keep going past houses and a few Christmas Tree farms and eventually reach the spot I was expecting… but it was where Black Road terminates with 35/Skyline (the road I should have taken). So I head North on 35, down Hwy 9 through Saratoga and back home to South San Jose with little to no traffic for the good twisty parts. Other recent rides were up to Alice's for an early AM breakfast, then out to the coast/Hwy1 and a Watsonville/Santa Cruz loop… all of which I’m sure you’ve done. Cheers, Mr. BR [/QUOTE]
