ally valuable to any one who has only
few davs to spend on vacation and would
like to spend them awheel. Mr.. Wynne
said:
Mrs. wynne did the pacing, while yours
truly id the following with the luggage. We
left San Francisco Friday at $50 A. NJ. from
Twenty-second and Folsom streets and picked
up Languetin OF the Bay City Wheelmen at the
Sierra Point House. lew miles out on the San
Bruno road. He rode with US to San Jose,
where we arrived at 10:30 A. NJ fifty miles),
having consumed sixty-fve minutes in stop
pages at intermediate points. We remained
at san Jose until 10 P. NJ, when we went
south to G1lroy, where we arrived at 3 P. NJ.
thirty miles, having stopped ten minutes at
mained until $3.50 P. NJ, and then proceeded
to Sargents Station, where we stopped forty
five minutes looking through Camp Sargent.
We then resumed our journey to San Juan,
where we arrived a $50 P. NJ, having covered
ninety-four miles in twelve hours time, or
seven hours and thirty-fve minutes actual
riding time. Much to our establishment we
had head wind from Gilroy to San Juan.
At z 80 O'Clock Saturday m orninP we left San
Juan and proceeded over q rolling road
through hot canyons to Watsonville, where we
arrived at 9:15 A. NJ. After a stop of twenty
five minutes we resumed to Aptos, Sequel and
San Ia Cruz, where we arrived exactly at noon,
having covered thlrJy-seven miles. We re-
mained at Santa Cruz until Sunday at b 20
A. NJ. (taking in the Venetian water carnival),
when we took the narrow-gauge train to Los
Gatos. At 8 80 A. NJ. we left Los Gatos and pro-
ceeded home via Redwood City, arriving at
P. NJ, having covered ffty-four miles in the
whole time of six and half hours and the
actual riding time of four hours and fifty-fve
minutes, the time of stoppage being one hour
and thirty-fve minutes.
Mrs. Wynne's machine was geared to seventy.
We had thoroughly enjoyable trip, found the
roads good except that portion between San
Juan and Watsonville From WatsonviIle to
San Ia Cruz the roads, under the care of Super
visors Linscott and Stanton, we found OF mod
ern construction and well cared for.
While the route travelled by is q more
roundabout way of reaching Santa Cruz, 1t has
several advantages over the Los Gatos, hotel
de Redwood and Sequel or Mount Charley
rou:es, inasmuch as the roads are rideable the
entire distance and there are no mountains,
the worst grade being no greater than the six
mile hill, with which We are all familiar. NO
forcing of pace was attempted, and the ride
shows what good lady rider can do easily II
she has good roads.
Almost every wheelman we met in Santa
Cruz reported the mountain roads very rough
and dusty, and nearly every one recounted
minor accident due to the wheel getting away
on the steep grades The route we selected
would make an excellent tandem trip.
You might call this our summary: First
day-94 miles; whole time, II hours; actual
riding time, hours 80 minutes second day
81 miles; whole time, AZ hours; actual riding
time, 3 hours 80 minutes. Third day-54
miles; whole time, 613 hours; actual riding
time, hours So minutes. Yours sincerely,
HENRY F. WYNNE.
