Please be careful down in Metcalf. The riders around San Jose like taking that route for the twisties too. Shouts to Jay-R on that GsxR6 of his. (He rides it like it was a freakin 1000!)

mark you hoe.. i got you into it.. haha ok well its a somewhat long trip.. its a good cruising scene.. it would kill abotu 30 minutes of your time.. depening on how fast you go.. if you're in the san jose area..


Take 101..

Exit off of Yerba Buena.. going north.. turn left.. going south.. turn right

Go down YB road.. you'll go over a hill.. This leads towards Evergreen College..

Make a right on san felipe road..

Go down for a bit.. you'll meet metcalf road..

head down the path and you'll cross the hair pins. (this is fun)

This road will lead you out towards monterey road.

Make a left to head towards morgan hill.. and a right towards san jose..

Turn right onto bernal and you'll meet 101 highway again..

good luck and drive safe!!!
