Los Gatos Creek Trail

The Los Gatos Creek Trail up to Lexington Dam is still open. The section across the face of the dam is closed, and there is an alternate route now that parallels the spillway. It is steep and
unpaved. But, you can still get a bike from downtown Los Gatos up to Alma Bridge Road without riding on the freeway.

I can actually ride up and down both of the steep dirt sections on a road bike, but I don't particularly recommend it unless you enjoy that sort of thing.
