Pretty much the only game in town for getting to Mtn Charlie, if I 
recall correctly. Or go further up the road and take Glenwood Drive. I 
haven't ridden Bean Creek in a few years so don't remember exactly what 
it's like. Last time I rode Mtn Charlie I rode up Scotts Valley Drive to 
Glenwood. Bean Creek is likely more scenic. The Santa Cruz Century 
avoided Bean Creek, but probably due to the location of their start-

Technically Bean Creek Rd. doesn't connect to Mt. Charlie Rd.; it 
connects to Glenwood Dr., which does connect to Mt. Charlie.

I ride Bean Creek frequently; it's a very nice road, scenic, not very 
wide, with low to moderate traffic.  The last quarter mile (to Glenwood) 
pitches up at well over 10%.
