It was interesting taking a different path<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>through this area. And while the neighborhood bike lane we traveled on was tame, there were still too many cars for us take a harder look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It was not long before we reached San Carlos and<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>were riding on the longest uninterrupted road of our trek, County Road.

There was plenty of shoulder for us to ride. And the increased activity made it a lot more interesting.

In 2015 we had stoped here to fix a flat tire. And Drew Wilson and Dan Kottke who cooled themselves off with a beer as we did, suggested we try it out on our next ride. We missed Dan and his attorney friend, Barry Harvis, who had also ridden with us a few years ago. They were at the San Bruno station probably an hour before we would arrive. And since I could not tell them when we would get there, or where we were at in San Francisco, they had no choice but to call theirs a day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12968\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/2017\/07\/09\/nbgs-2017-san-francisco-to-palo-alto-ride\/fullsizeoutput_29b1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 5s&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1498921003&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00092592592592593&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fullsizeoutput_29b1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-12968 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?resize=280%2C210\" alt=\"fullsizeoutput_29b1\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?w=3264&amp;ssl=1 3264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeroute.com\/NationalBicycleGreenwayNews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fullsizeoutput_29b1.jpeg?w=2200&amp;ssl=1 2200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/>No one else wanted to go inside the roadside tavern, so I got an iced tea.

Soon, as we pedaled toward busy Woodside Rd, we were riding a block away from history. As well as one of my favorite stops on the whole ride, the Redwood City Grocery Outlet.
