The Again Approach To Hellyer Park – BionicOldGuy

I did one other lengthy brisk cruise at this time, largely to the north. I took the Coyote Creek Path to the primary flood, then labored round it on Monterey Freeway. I knew there was one other flood north of Blossom Hill Rd, so left the path and labored my means over to Hellyer Ave, which bought me to Hellyer Park. I needed to take a look at the velodrome, however bumped into yet one more flood proper earlier than it. I’m signed up for an occasion “HPV enjoyable day” there on Might twenty first. I hope both the floods go down by then or we will provide you with an alternate answer, as the one different entry to the velodrome is through an alternate pedestrian-only entrance with no parking. I had the unhappy obligation of informing the organizers of the occasion in regards to the state of affairs.

I retraced my steps on Hellyer Ave and the path so far as Metcalf Ave, then took Monterey Freeway house as a result of I used to be operating a bit late. Monterey Freeway is a four-lane highway with quick site visitors, but it surely has a large bike lane so remains to be fairly nice to journey subsequent to.

Inside Hellyer Park. Yet one more place Coyote Creek floods the highway. The white within the distance past the orange barrier is the concrete wall on the prime of Hellyer Velodrome
That is looking on Coyote “Creek” from the bridge on Metcalf Street (in direction of the pedestrian bridge on the path). The “Creek” seems to be extra like a river this 12 months. Anderson Dam remains to be about 40% full from all of the rain we bought earlier this 12 months. The water is constantly gushing out of the outlet pipe on the backside, however it should take many extra weeks till the dam is empty, which it must be so work can proceed on the following stage of the seismic retrofit.
