Your article took me back to my college years a very, very long time ago. I was part of an early group who rode imported Italian and French road bikes in the early 60’s. What’s a Specialize?? One of our regular training rides took us up Big Basin Way and over to Page Mill via Hwy 35. A truly beautiful ride unfettered by speeding nut cases, There was only the occasional car. I stopped serious road riding after gradate school. While I enjoy the vistas, I feel really sorry for the folks who have to dodge cars, motorcycles and trucks. Doesn’t seem like a lot fun to me. I now find that long lost peace and quiet on the trails and fire roads of Big Basin where I serve as a Docent-Naturalist. Come up and see us some time.

When ever I ride through this intersection, I feel like I have really ridden somewhere. Oh and did I forget to mention the great Hwy 9 DESCENT??!!??

A beautiful mountainous area with fabulous vistas! I love the beauty and peacefulness of this area and now I have a better understanding of its great history. I am a former ultra marathon runner and I use to race a path from Castle Rock Park, through Saratoga Gap, China Grade, through Big Basin State Park, to the sea at Wilder Ranch and finish in a return to Big Basin State Park. The sights were wonderful and the feeling intoxicating! Thanks for sharing!
