Meet William Mueller at 9:45 AM at the Campbell Community Center, 1 Campbell Ave (meet behind the skate park) for a 10:00 START. The route starts in Campbell, then goes over two short but steep (>15%) climbs to reach the Stevens Creek Reservoir. We then head down the canyon and cross through Sunnyvale to the Baylands, where we take the San Tomas Aquinas Trail to get to the Ice Cream Social. Return is via Los Padres. Although classified a grizzly, this is definitely not a flat ride. However we can wait at the top if you need to hoof some of the steeper bits. Rain or AQI>100 cancels.
