It should be pretty quite up there on a week day.
The weekends attract a lot of people and wrecks!
Have a safe ride.

+1 on Cowboy speak. I live on hwy 9 just north of Felton and know this to be a great riding area. You may want to take a slight detour through Big Basin Redwoods state park on hwy 236 from Boulder Creek back to hwy 9. It will add about 30min. to your loop but is well worth it to see some really big trees! Have a safe and great ride!

Keep in mind we get some serious fog here but it isn't what the rest of the US calls fog, it's more of a thick marine layer at 1000 feet or so. You can be riding from inland where it is in the 90's and a few miles from the coast it drops to the low 60's so be prepared. Alice's is right on the fog line so on a foggy day it will be sunny there and cold on the coast. Our summer on the coast starts in September through November.

Hey Gascap...I like the ride through Big Basin but the 1st time I did it was on my long bike...not easy...but the redwoods are kewla nd the Britts should like seeing them...

I grew up in that neighborhood.

Here's something you should try.. after leaving Alice's, head west on highway 84. After about 7 miles (on a great riding road) you'll hit the town of La Honda, that's not much more than a wide spot on the road. On your left, just after you pass the fire station and general store on the right, you'll see a watering hole named "Apple Jack's". Check it out, I highly recommend it.

It's actually been a few years since I was at Alice's. These days I prefer the Canyon Inn in Redwood City or the Rosotti's (now the Alpine Inn) in Portola Valley. Just my personal preference though, no real reason behind it.

Another good spot for a nice cold brew is Henflings on Hwy 9.
