Road ride up route 17 to central valley and back. This is a real hidden gem of a ride. Very little traffic and rolling hills makes for a fast ride.
only one gotcha: on the way back there are a few "fallen rock zones" along the south side ot 17. Nothing big but lots fo fist size boulders when you cross them. I was not paying attention and rode right over a rock. Bang! Blow out. 8 minutes to swap tubes. Much longer than my usual 3-4 minutes to chage a tire mostly because I had never changed a tire on the road bike so I was checking it all out. Using 18cm tubes. The are lighter than the 23 but cost twice as much!
the route is below. Point "C" is where I got the flat.
