Comments on: Zayante Road a Hidden Gem in the Santa Cruz Mountains http://rayhosler.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/zayante-road-a-hidden-gem-in-the-santa-cruz-mountains/ One rider's observations and opinions Sun, 12 May 2013 01:47:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Barry Chaffin http://rayhosler.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/zayante-road-a-hidden-gem-in-the-santa-cruz-mountains/#comment-1791 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 04:30:35 +0000 http://rayhosler.wordpress.com/?p=3500#comment-1791 I much prefer climbing Zayante over descending. Bear Creek offers a quick return to the valley. I usually descend Hwy 9 to Ben Lomond and take Quail Hollow although you can also go all the way to Felton and Graham Hill Road.

Regardless, it is a very nice road for cycling.

How do you like it as a climb, and what would you compare it to around here? thanks for sharing.
