Eventually you end up coming out at Marsh Road, where you can get on a bike path that takes you to Sun Microsystems. Cross at Willow onto another bike path to University. <br /><br />Follow University into East Palo Alto then you need to cross EPA - the turn sheet on sf2g is as good as any. You end up on a bike path through the Palo Alto Golf Course, getting spit out onto Embarcadero then onto Bayshore. Cross San Antonio on Bayshore, left on Garcia, right on Shoreline, left on Pear, right on Inigo, left on La Avenida, then the Steven's Creek Trail.<br /><br />Unfortunately the only tricky part is EPA which is also a bit dodgy, get the turnsheets from sf2g.com - but we are constantly re-analyzing our route through there.murphstahoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378354136823393492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616818704326975625.post-68095006333129049832009-12-23T12:02:36.929-08:002009-12-23T12:02:36.929-08:00How do you get from RC on the east side (after cro...How do you get from RC on the east side (after crossing on maple) to the stevens creek trail?

When I did it I would actually ride east on Tilton to a right on Humboldt, then take a left onto the 3rd St sidewalk right at the beginning of the path. Once across I usually continue straight in the left lane with traffic (very suck) Church (left turn lane) and instead of riding through the gate I (illegally) ride the sidewalk which turns into a bike path behind the big wall. From there it's pretty obvious.<br /><br />On the westbound approach I hop onto J. Hart Clinton at Ryder Court Park and then cross over to the left turn lane at Norfolk when traffic is clear. The light time is such that I hang in the left turn lane until the thru traffic gets the green (after the on-coming green arrow goes out). While this seems a bit sketchy it's not so bad.<br /><br />Due to what you experienced and my own findings I have come to the conclusion that Monte Diablo (while glass strewn) is much the better ticket. From the train station you only go one extra block north and run right into it. I forgot to mention this in my last post: Monte Diablo runs right into the bay trail. Back to the train station, I prefer the bike bridge, but I usually leave work too late to take that route and make my train.blobreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373967695099171265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616818704326975625.post-60191574666897112009-12-22T13:06:49.671-08:002009-12-22T13:06:49.671-08:00Ah yeah, Whipple.
