Some pictures from my trip to Santa Cruz. The road riding there is really spectacular, much more steep up and down ( (15+% grades) with roads on the ridges connected by little dark and twisty connector roads that dive down into the redwoods. I was always waiting for a hobbit or some other creature to come out of these dark woods.
No ice cream on this road, but steep riding
Swanton organic strawberry farm, $3 pints on the honor system, yummers!
Treat stop on the coast highway
Local Santa Cruz surf spot, no beginners allowed. I stayed far away.
Typical road, steep and narrow
Banana slug, the UC-Santa Cruz mascot. This one is about 4" long.
