Ride #2- Introducing people to a new road!

So a couple hours after getting home from my first ride today, it was obvious my son wasn't going anywhere, and if I didn't get out soon, I wouldn't be either! So I set out for a quick run up Old LaHonda, determined to "document" it as a featured ride on our website. Unfortunately, because it was getting late, the sun wasn't in a good mood for photos. But I did get a few, which I'm posted.

Once at the top I met up with a group that had taken the train down from San Francisco to Redwood City and then ridden up, and were planning to ride straight back to Redwood City again, without experiencing the west-side of Old LaHonda! That's something I just can't let happen; the west side is one of the best 3-mile stretches of road I've found anywhere. So I talked them into a guided tour of the "other side" and hopefully they'll show others.
