Palo Alto Baylands Gravel Loop (that doesn't require a gravel bike)

Gravel route on Geng Rd, Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, California

"Tours the Palo Alto (and Mountain View) baylands mostly on gravel. Stealth start point in baseball parking should be better on a crowded weekend than the alternate start at the end of San Antonio but you can pick this up anywhere. Unless there has been recent rain, all of the gravel should be smooth and suitable for nearly any bike. You'll see a variety of things along the route. Golf, Airport, Wildlife, kayak dock, Google buildings, the back side of Moffett Field, creek trail and more. This is mostly off-road except an area in Moffett with good bike lanes and a bit crossing over 101 that is ugly but a protected bike lane. Suitable for family outings or a flat workout."
