The climb up to Henry Coe State park east of Morgan Hill is one of our big local climbs. It’s well-nigh 12 miles from the wiring of the hill on E Dunne ave. to park headquarters, with 2700 ft elevation gain. I did it yesterday with a group starting in Morgan Hill. Our route was a little shorter considering we took the steeper shortcut up Thomas Grade. It was well-nigh 30 miles total starting near downtown Morgan Hill.

I ride with a workshop of Almaden Cycle Touring club in San Jose. Our local Tuesday group is the one I usually refer to rides with. I discovered that there are other groups with ACTC that moreover start in Morgan Hill, that are faster and do increasingly climbing. That was who I rode with yesterday. They were quite unsuspicious of my e-bike and the ride was enjoyable.

Park headquarters. This is the second largest state park in Ca, with many miles of hiking and mountain wanderlust trails. The views up here are incredible, my pictures didn’t do them justice.
