We grabbed our bikes this morning and headed for the Monterey Bay area, but first we stopped to ride a portion of the Coyote Creek trail. We started at the trail head on Silver Creek Valley Rd and turned around at the Peet’s Coffee on Cochrane in Morgan Hill. The round-trip was almost 29 miles. It’s very green and pretty this time of year. We ignored the trail closed signs—there were two or three shallow water crossings on the trail. Judging by the high water marks, the trail really was impassable during the last storm.
We had planned to stay in Marina where it’s easy to jump on the Montery Bay Bike Trail, but the one remaining room was outrageously priced. We found a comfortable little motel in Carmel with reasonable rates.
