That is nice for recreation if I wish to go on lengthy rides within the nation, however it’s even higher information for lively transportation. I already stroll or bike for errands in Morgan Hill, the place every little thing is inside a couple of miles. However generally I have to get to the neighboring cities of Gilroy or San Jose, which is feasible on a standard bike however I have to admit to not at all times doing it. With electrical help, it’s way more possible, and there’s virtually nothing I want that’s not inside an 80-mile spherical journey. The furthest I can consider offhand is my heart specialist who’s 21 miles away (and I solely have to go there twice a 12 months). Now it’s only a query of mapping out protected routes to in every single place I have to go.

Highlights of Yesterday’s Experience:

Southern Entrance to Paradise Valley on Oak Glen Ave, I Turned Left right here on Sycamore Ave
I had simply climbed up over the steep hill on Sycamore, that is wanting in the direction of the highest. The opposite facet that I got here up is steeper. The brand new bike has fairly low gearing so I might have been capable of do it with some effort with out help. With help it was a breeze.

Sarah’s Winery on Hecker Cross Freeway. The highway continues over the move and drops down into Watsonville, and is our again technique to the coast. Sadly the shoulder disappears when it begins climbing, so it’s not nice for biking. There are plans to construct a motorbike route as much as the summit. I turned proper to go for residence earlier than the shoulder disappeared.
