5 Or More Cities
This scenic tour of some of some of the less frequently traveled back roads of Portola Valley offers both distance (55 miles) and climbing (2500’). A run down Foothill Expressway gets us to the more rural countryside of the Los Altos Hills. Turning off Alpine Road at Los Trancos Road, we take a ‘back door’ to Valley Oak then on to a brief stop at Portola Town Center. We then climb through the ranchlands of the Westridge hills, visiting Possum Lane and Mapeche before ascending Peak Lane. Descending steeply to rejoin Alpine Road, we continue to the residential areas of Stanford before returning to Campbell. Meet William Mueller at 9:15AM at Campbell Community Center, 1 Campbell Ave (meet behind the skate park) for a 9:30 START. Rain cancels. No lunch stop; bring snacks.

How about a metric century to the famed Redwood City Cross? Working our way north, we start with some climbing through the hills of Los Altos. Look for the driveway with the terracotta warriors, and enjoy the views of the old quarry lake. We continue to Stanford, then take Sand Hill to cross to Woodside horse country. A back roads climb full of twist and turns gets us up to the RWC landmark and a great view of the Bay. An exhilarating descent down Jefferson takes us to our lunch break at the ‘Golden Triangle’. A final dip into Stanford leads to a straight run back to Campbell via Foothill, Bollinger and Williams. Meet William Mueller at 8:45 AM at Campbell Community Center, 1 Campbell Ave (meet behind the skate park) for a 9:00 START. Rain cancels.
