Recommend me some good Santa Cruz road bike rides! Will be there from Wed-Sat, plan on going outdoors (gasp!) and doing some outdoor riding. Staying at the downtown oceanfront, and have a car so I can drive, but I'd prefer to keep total ride+travel time under 3.5 hrs if possible since it's a family trip, not a bike camp for me!
I've already eyeballed the Bonny Doon-Empire Grade loop which looks perfect - any tips on that route would also be welcome. (I read online a suggestion to ride it clockwise starting from the base of Bonny Doon, down Empire and back via Smith)
