It would be fun to do the big loop mentioned (Skyline / 9) but this Sat is calling for something more important for me. Others are welcome to continue on though. Definitely a hand over hand type of a drive...and quite a distance too. I took an open-ended lunch sometime ago and completed that loop, including La Honda West, and back down on La Honda East towards 280, took a lil over 2 hours with a couple quick stops.

As for Saturday, whomever attends I think would appreciate La Honda/Skyline a bit more than Bear Creek or anything else less traveled up there. SO, that's what I had in mind, a mix of switchbacks (Bear Creek), the ease of Skyline Blvd, and the smooth sweepers of La Honda. That said, we can meet at this Starbucks between 6a - 7a. We can depart shorty once we have whomever wants to attend.

Starbucks
624 Blossom Hill Rd, Los Gatos, CA
(408) 402-0350 ‎

From Starbucks, we will take 17 South again and exit a few minutes later onto Bear Creek Road. Left onto Bear Creek Road. Then right onto Skyline Blvd. We can include a quick stop at the "4 Corners" (Skyline & 9 junction) before continuing onto Skyline towards La Honda/Alice's Restaurant. La Honda starts just behind the restaurant so a quick stop here is welcome. Then down La Honda until a parking lot/stores appear on the right. Back up La Honda towards Alice's again. Going against gravity is just as fun as going along with it. After this, I may head towards 92 to head home.
