    Road cycling

    Page Mill Road is a classic route for cyclists looking for a challenge, with its steep climbs, sharp switchbacks, and stunning views of Silicon Valley. Starting near Palo Alto and climbing into the Santa Cruz Mountains, the ride tests your legs but rewards you with breathtaking scenery.
    Be prepared for varying gradients, especially in the lower sections, and pack plenty of water—the climb can be intense, especially on warmer days.

    Climb over the fence and bike or walk ca. 600 ft up to the hill on the right. Great view!

    The Junipero Serra Boulevard loop from West Menlo Park offers a dynamic road cycling experience, blending dedicated bike infrastructure with varied terrain. You'll pedal past the serene Crystal Springs Reservoir and follow Stevens Creek through forested sections, enjoying picturesque views of rolling hills. This route is a favorite for its combination of safety and scenic beauty, providing a true Bay Area cycling adventure.

    Planning your ride, this difficult 31.1-mile (50.1 km) loop with 3059 feet (932 metres) of elevation gain will take you about 2 hours and 57 minutes. While the boulevard features generous bike lanes, car traffic can be present, especially during peak commute times. To enjoy the route with fewer fellow cyclists, aim for a weekday ride or an early start on a weekend morning, as good weather can make it quite popular.

    Junipero Serra Boulevard is a vital artery for the local cycling scene, known for its well-maintained, paved surfaces and traffic calming measures that enhance safety. It serves as a gateway to many other popular routes, making it a cornerstone for cyclists in West Menlo Park and the surrounding areas. This loop is an excellent choice if you're looking for a substantial workout on a route that feels both connected to the community and immersed in natural beauty.
