As soon as he passed me on the short climb up Arastradero Road along 280, I knew it was him. He looked to be about 90.
Shaun Brennan wore his Gizzi orange jersey, riding a black Trek.
In 2018 he rode his bike 200 kilometers through the Santa Cruz Mountains, age 87. There’s no way I could or would ever want to ride that far now, and I’m 20 years his junior.
I made it up Moody Road today, my indoctrination to the Santa Cruz Mountains 42 years ago. Back then I got to Page Mill Road and gave up. It would be more than a year before I tried again, this time with more success.
Los Altos Hills gets kudos for its nice sign on Magdalena Road.
