Try Highway 9 from Saratoga heading up to Skyline(hwy. 35) and head north to Hwy. 92
Then turn around and go back down. Use a radar detector and don't go on the weekends. Preferably weekdays between 10 and 2. Enjoy!

I probably did that 3-4x/week in HS -- all pretty late at night...
the one-way road with blind corners is safer at night, assuming the other guy's got his headlights on.
Of course I was in an 85hp Saturn SL1 5-speed, so I was never going too fast, heh.
Just hopped on 880->680->580 and I was back home

I never once saw a dog in the street or a bicyclist on that road...
Granted, I've probably only done it during the day a couple dozen times, while I did it at night probably close to 100.

Got attacked by the same dog twice...very annoying
One sharp corner use to have tons of Tarantulas in the dirt walls...when you are going 0.5 mph..that isnt much fun.
