TJ Ride aka Spectrum Ride

Today I went on a 35 mile bike ride starting in Los Altos, California. The ride basically followed the Spectrum Ride (an organized ride). The Spectrum Ride is weekly on Saturdays amd attracts a lot of racers. The Spectrum Ride officially starts at the Starbucks at the corner of Hollenbeck and Homestead in Sunnyvale, but often picks up additional riders as it motors along Foothill Expressway toward Palo Alto. The route has changed somewhat over the years, and now winds its way through Portola Valley, and out Canada road through Woodside. If you are interested in riding in this area check out the unoffical Stanford cyling web site as they have quite a bit of information on diiferent rides through this region.

Every Sunday, the San Mateo County Parks and Rec closes Canada Rd. from Hwy. 92 to Edgewood Rd., along Crystal Springs Reservoir, to motorized vehicles.
