Kennedy Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From Top of the Hill Road and the Kennedy Trailhead the 2-lane Kennedy Road descends to both directions: to the East along Shannon Creek, and here to the west along East Ross Creek and Ross Creek. It's a strategic link along the foot of the hills, albeit mostly without a biking shoulder, so the descent is the most comfortable way to flow with traffic.

Kennedy Road Sierra Azul Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

The Kennedy Road Sierra Azul Trailhead has a small parking area that fits about three cars, depending on size, and offers a shaded starting point. A portable toilet is available at the trailhead, and additional parking can be found at the top of Top of the Hill Road.

Shannon Road Summit

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

This is the summit of the main hill to overcome along Shannon Road between Los Gatos Creek and Guadalupe Creek. Once you passed Sky land it's all downhill to either side through the scenic landscape and historic farms, albeit without a biking shoulder.
