I just looked at the course for the Palo Alto Granfondo - 
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/250566 and notice it's yet another ride 
forced to descend Kings Mtn Road instead of the considerably-safer 
(less-challenging) Highway 84. My assumption is that this is yet another 
ride that the town of Woodside deemed unworthy of riding through town. 
This has been going on for YEARS. We keep hearing noise from "people who 
know such things" that what Woodside is doing isn't legal and wouldn't 
hold up in court. But it's never been challenged, at least as far as I 
know.

We have benefit rides for all manner of worthy causes. Maybe we should 
have benefit rides for cyclists. Build up a legal war chest and take on 
the town. Could be that just the fundraising activity alone might spur 
change.

Lots of questions. The only answers I can give right now involve rides 
that have challenging descents towards the end of a long day in the 
saddle (Page Mill and Kings). Bad things often happen.
