10/12/24 - UCSC Bookstore to Downtown via Moore St and Mission St

Descending from High St on Moore St is a very low stress route through some suburban neighborhoods. Make sure your brakes are in good shape.

The climb back up would be fine on an e-bike too.

Crossing Bay St on Escalona is not recommended. The cars coming down Bay St are flying and the sight lines are poor. This is likely to be improved at some point.

Riding back to downtown on Mission is also not optimal, though with the amount of traffic there was on this day it was pretty easy. The cars weren't moving much.

There's a map of the route here:
