Morgan Hill’s Canals and Different Dust – BionicOldGuy

Yesterday was arduous higher physique day so I did that exercise first at dwelling. Then I went for a straightforward spin on my e-bike which has fats tires, so I went searching for off-road trails. I proceeded up Fundamental avenue east of city and used its dust and gravel shoulder, which runs previous Guglielmo Vineyard. Subsequent I headed over to the canal trails subsequent to US 101. It is a cooperation with Morgan Hill and the Santa Clara Valley Water District, who owns the canals and adjoining right-of approach. The town developed trails, some paved, the remainder packed gravel. The finances wasn’t sufficient to make underpasses at freeway bridges so it’s important to make your approach again to an adjoining frontage highway (Condit Ave), cross the road, after which reenter the path. This may be awkward in case you had been doing this for commuting however is ok for recreation functions, particularly at instances of sunshine site visitors. I obtained off the canal path at Cochrane Ave and rode some dust trails on some undeveloped land earlier than heading dwelling after a bit underneath 90 minutes. The journey is posted on Strava right here.

Guglielmo vineyard, established 1925. I assume they’ll be throwing a pleasant shindig subsequent yr.
That is the unpaved path subsequent to the canal, on the stretch between East Dunne and Fundamental. It’s nice driving apart from some freeway noise, which isn’t dangerous except it’s rush hour
That is the trail between Fundamental and Cochrane. It has a paved part however I rode the gravel for enjoyable.
That is the Paseo de Los Padres path which runs between Peet Highway and Mission View Ave. It was put in when by the developer of the homes to the correct. Los Padres refers the Spanish missionaries who established the Missions in what’s now the the Southwest of the US. I took this path on my approach dwelling from Cochrane highway. Very nice.

Strava notified me that my buddy Carol Ann had joined the 600K problem and the Gran Fondo Problem for March. You get a “digital finisher’s badge” on your Strava trophy case for finishing these. The 600K is to journey at the least that many kilometers in March, and the Gran Fondo is to finish a journey of at the least 100K in March. These each match effectively for me as I’m ramping up my mileage anyway. I hadn’t seemed into Strava challenges, they’ve varied ongoing ones in a number of sports activities and at varied ranges of capability, they give the impression of being enjoyable for motivation.
