4 years agoBack in the 1980s, I used to work for a company HQed in Mountain View and when I'd travel out there would stay in a motel near Moffeet. They had free bikes to use - after work I would ride many of those trails. When I had to stay through a weekend, used to bike up the Bay Trail to E.

That's a nice route - good choice. I've done variations of it many times. It's even better these days with improved cycling infrastructure.
