My friend, Gary, suggested me to reach out to his friend; Jenny, who he always rides with in Santa Cruz area. I did that and Jenny was able to plan a ride for me and a couple of her friends.
We met at 8.45 am on Sat at Santa Cruz Bike headquarter area and start our ride from there. There was also a farmer market there (open from 8 am to 1 pm). The parking area here is safe. We finished our ride where we started around 4 pm.
I stayed at Doug and Donna house (Harvest host) in Santa Cruz, which is only 11 min drive to here, for this weekend trip
I met with Dawn and Dave (her husband) and Noel there. They are very good group of people to ride with. Very fun and fulfilling ride for me.
