Pedal in wilderness

For a decade, Paul Nam of Cupertino has volunteered on trail maintenance projects and served on the board of the Pine Ridge Association, the interpretive organization for Henry W. Coe State Park, with entrances in Morgan Hill and Gilroy. Introduced to bicycling by a friend with a "stump jumper" in the 1980s, he's chipped his elbow and broken several bones but now owns 12 bikes, including a tandem he shares with his wife. His favorite is a black BMC Fourstroke trail bike. He is ride leader for Responsible Organized Mountain Pedalers. (www.romp.org)

Henry W. Coe State Park is so large, over 87,000 acres, that you can really stretch your legs out and get away from the urban environment. We go out all day, if we can. We might go 30 miles, maybe do 4,000 to 7,000 feet of cumulative climbing.

There are great views of Salinas Valley. You can see the arc of Monterey Bay. It's really something. During winter, if it's clear, you can see the Sierra Nevada, with white crests of snowy mountains. In some parts of the park, it's possible to see Yosemite.
