Let loose on the awesome downhill through Bonny Doon to the coast. Ride through the pastoral orchards and strawberry fields around Corralitos and Watsonville. Browse the many shops and indulge yourself in the fine restaurants in "Old Town" Los Gatos. Spot unusual migratory birds in their natural habitat at the Elkhorn Slough. Relive the mining past at New Almaden.
