Routes in United States / California / Saratoga




A pretty difficult ride. Alba and Upper Zayante are quite steep.



An attempt to link some of the longest/steepest grades in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties into the shortest route possible. There is very little flat terrain on this route.

Up Bohlman/On Orbit (steep!)

- down Montevina

- up Bear Creek

- down Zayante

- over Quail Hollow (a hill, not a hollow)

- up Alba (steep, long!)

- down Jamieson Creek (technical, sketchy)

- up China Grade (gorgeous redwoods)

- down Hwy 236

- up Hwy 9 to Skyline (mellow end to the day)

- down Hwy 9 to Saratoga



Relatively short route with great views. Hwy 35 (Skyline) and Stevens Creek Canyon are beautiful
