Area Summary The key to avoiding the death marches that are characteristic of the northern sections of Coe is using Coit Road, a well-graded fire road that links Gilroy Hot Springs to loads of spectacular single-track. Featured Ride # 1 climbs Coit Road and Wasno Road before diving into five miles of sublime downhill single-track. Ride # 2, which starts at Hunting Hollow, has the traditional Coe hike-a-bike section followed by miles of equally great single-track. Like in the northern section, southwest Coe begs to be explored...after you have a few guided rides under your belt. If you're into epic rides, the southern section is definitely the better staging area. Its lower altitude ensures that you'll be finishing the ride downhill, not a small factor when you consider the nasty endings to most northern Coe rides! |
