Beautiful Backroads in San Benito County

My Tuesday group rode from a spot near the little town of Paicines in San Benito County, out neighbor to the south.

Beautiful Backroads in San Benito County 1 — At the Start is the Jon Kaplan memorial, to a member of our club who was killed on nearby state highway 25, by a distracted driver. That road has some narrow shoulders and some insanely fast drivers so we no longer ride on it, we stick to the lightly traveled local roads.

There was a lot of climbing in the foothills, with a rest stop at the beautiful De Rosa winery. Just under 30 miles, with a great lunch afterwards in another neat little town, Tres Pinos. The only problem with these rural roads in this County are that they need some maintenance- lots of potholes and cracked pavement. It’s not the best for a skinny-tired road bike, but I took my Sirrus with fatter tires, close to being a “gravel” bike, and it was plenty comfortable.

At this moment, I am a doctor and a health blogger. I wrote my first blog post in 2008 about a new symptom I had experienced with my skin. By 2011, I was writing almost weekly about medical topics and had become a contributing writer at fitcoachion.com. It didn't take me long to realize that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. In 2014, I started working as a doctor and have written more than 25,000 words in that capacity. In addition to working as a doctor, I have also worked as a public relations specialist and as an English tutor.
