Near the Mouth of Coyote Creek

Day 30: Mud Slough to Tasman Station
(Fremont to San Jose)

Circle The Bay Part 3

December 6th 2018

8.8 miles in 1 hrs 15 mins

(Total: 323.4 miles in 73 hrs 26 mins)

This ride was for the most part along the last stretch of Coyote Creek (which should be called Coyote River) before its mouth at the southeast end of the bay. There is a serious amount of flood engineering along this corridor, because the creek drains most everything south of it to Morgan Hill. Unlike the creeks of eastern and western bayshore, it has many more miles of drainage due to arrangement of the north/south mountain ridges between which the bay occupies the drowned valley between them.

I circumnavigated the South Bay today and it was fun. Caltrain to the city, bike the Embarcadero to BART, BART all the way to the new Warm Springs terminus, and then bike the gap in transit to the Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority light rail. Which takes me back to Caltrain...
