Quicksilver Fall Classic Ride near San Jose, CA next weekend

[Michael Maul <mmaul@flash.net>]

The Quicksilver Fall Classic will be held Oct. 20, 2001 at a new location - Henry
Coe State park - south of Morgan Hill, Ca.  The ride is put on by the Quicksilver 
Endurance Club of San Jose.

The ride manager has worked to make sure the ride isn't a really difficult ride.  Coe has
a lot of sharp rises in elevation and could be difficult if some routes are used
for the trail.  The ride manager has chosen reasonable trails to provide a ride
that while it isn't easy - it's certainly not a grueling ride.  

Henry W. Coe State Park is the largest state park in northern California,
spanning over 81,000 acres.  Once the home of the Ohlone Indians, the park has
a fascinating variety of oaks, manzanita, grasslands, as well as wildlife such
as deer, wild pig and turkeys.

Some of the spectacular views you will see as you ride up to Wilson Peak are
the Palassou Ridge rising up from Coyote Creek in the northwest, Fremont Peak
some 20 miles or so south, the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the East,
and Monterey Bay glistening in the sun to the southwest.

Ribley as the Head Vet. Steve Lenheim as the ride manager.
