Foothill trail

I found a new biking trail today about 8 miles from home. Foothill is by the highway 280, and it is not difficult to climb up to the top since the height goes up smoothly, but still I have to walk my single gear bike sometimes. Yet, it is ecstatic to bike down the hill on the road, so it is worth the strength anyway. Unexpected, I met four deers on the hill, they were hiding behind the tree from sunshine or predators? They were not afraid of me at all.

Fremont older open space reserve & Stevens Creek County Park trail

I found another two biking trails about 8 miles from home. One is Fremont older open space reserve on hills, the other is Stevens Creek Country Park in the valley.  They are neighbors, so it's easy to ride one time for both places. After several days in flat Silicon Valley, I had some fun on hills for the first time, even though I had to walk my steel bike on some steep roads.

Steven Creek Trail to Bay trail

I found a lovely five-mile bike trail to the bay shore, along the Stevenson creek, with two lanes, each for one direction. Trees are all the way down to the bay, and many beautiful crossing bridges make it even scenic. The speed limit is 5mph so I cannot ride fast. When I reached the end, the trail is on a narrow dam, still two lanes. I felt like flying off because of its height and the surrounding emptiness.
