Can you ride on hardpack? This has worked on my road bike, but wider tires feel better.

You could take the John W Christian Greenbelt to/thru Mission College, Agnew, Garrity to the Guadalupe River Trail (not all paved at this time) to Curtner to Tully. Visible on the bike map at vta.org.

I am beginning to ride, but i think i can handle the hardpack, although i am not sure of the reality.
However, I checked the vta.org, i did not see the route as u said, and i dont know where is W Christian Greenbelt from tasmam/fair oak.Can you please be more specific? thx

Here's a link; it took a while to draw... Fair Oaks to Curtner, which will merge you onto Tully to get to Senter.

I hope this helps.

Paul, Thx for spending the time to draw out the route.
I was able to ride from sunnyvale to a san tomas aquino path. but somehow i end up at the baypoint or the bayland park. i got lost last weekend.:(

i guess, i need to find a way to print the map out or write out when to turn left or right. thx

Although I like the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail, you need to cross it and keep going east.

From Mission College, left on Agnew, cross Lafayette, third left onto Garrity, right onto East River, bear left into a park and onto the levee, and put the river on your left, cross the bridge, and that'll get you a bit farther.
