NEW WHEEL TOUR BY THE SEA AND THROUGH MOUNTAINS 

Here is the above map, georeferenced. I will try to make a kml route of the ride. - MF

To SANTA CRUZ by way of the coast is an agreeable bicycle tour that is almost unknown to the majority of wheelmen. Bicyclists have long labored under the mistaken idea that the coast route was difficult and hazardous, coupling it in their minds with long sandy stretches and much walking through a barren, forsaken country, which could afford no pleasure for a tourist. As a matter of fact, there is much less walking required required than on the overland route leading past Los Gatos and over the Santa Cruz mountains. There is an unlimited amount of interesting scenery affording a complete variation from any outing the "Chronicle's" bicycle readers hare yet taken. Practically four tours are embodied in this one, yet but three days are required to complete the round trip of 170 miles.
