RIDE ALL THE GOATS (Santa Cruz Hills, Sat 8/17/19)

[sckego]

So you like tight, twisty, no-centerline-bombed-out-dirt-covered-goodness? Let's go.

Perfect for supermoto, still damn fun on sport standard or ADV, feel free to bring an R6 but don't bitch at me when your nuts get smashed. Pace will be quick-ish and roads will be technical, NOT a n00b-friendly ride.

KSU from the Chevron in Los Gatos (200 Los Gatos-Saratoga Rd) at 9:15am, Saturday 17 Aug 2019.

Lunch stop at Boulder Creek Roadside Cafe.

Total distance <100 mi with a gas stop in the middle.

Post up if you're coming.

Bring it! :teeth (I'll be in full leathers with sliders too, hopefully neither of them will be used...)

Wooooo that was a blast. Nice meeting you BIG186, thanks for coming out!

 

[BIG186]

Had a blast and found some new roads. See you on the next one.

NeXt time hopefully.

Anybody have a track or the route plan?
Thanks, i hope you had a good time!

Always a next time! :thumbup

From Los Gatos, we went up Black, Gist, Skyline, down Zayante to Felton-Empire, Ice Cream Grade, up to Alba, then up 9 to upper 236, into Big Basin, Lodge Rd eastbound, then did another loop up China Grade-236-Lodge again, back down to Boulder Creek, up Bear Creek, tried to get to my friend's house in Las Cumbres via Bear Creek Canyon and Mountain Lion Road - pretty much all dirt, including some decently technical stuff, water crossings, etc, ended up at a gate we could not get past, so back to Bear Creek to Skyline.

Hell of a day, man. Hell of a day. :rofl
