Choose from one of four routes: The Yellow, Blue, and Red Routes each highlight destinations in different parts of Palo Alto as well as bike bridges, off-road trails, and underpasses accessed via bike friendly streets. The Grand Tour is an 19.8 mile sampling parts of all three of the shorter routes, using map or online route guidance.
NOTE There are no route arrows this year so please make sure you have a map or are using the on-line tools, Rides with GPS, to navigate the routes.
