Additions to CycleNet's "one-to-one correspondence" noted above (not displayed by CBM) are ''Z-suffixed'' routes: CycleNet has several such "connectors." In the real world, Z-routes are signed with "Share The Road" or "Bicycles May Use Full Lane," painted with sharrows (all three are {{tag|cycleway|shared_lane}}) or are otherwise legal bicycle infrastructure ({{tag|bicycle|yes}}). Though bike-legal, CBM does not display these (as purple {{tag|bicycle|yes}}), so CycleNet denotes them as Z routes: bike-legal infrastructure as sensible "connectors." Major CycleNet Z routes are 5Z (Hwy 9), 25Z (Empire Grade), 26Z (Hwy 236) and the 826 route group (826 Gazos Creek Road, 826M through Big Basin and 826Z China Grade), all challenging for cyclists (steep, narrow, sinuous, M-routes are unpaved and non-M routes are shared with automobile traffic). CycleNet 826 from/to Hwy 1 (via 26Z and 5Z at Saratoga Gap connecting to Santa Clara County's {{tag|lcn|13}}, a route from San Jose to Saratoga Gap) could become a part-mountain-bike regional route ({{key|network|rcn}}) linking multiple counties over the Santa Cruz Mountains, from San José to the Pacific Ocean. However, as of 2022, CycleNet 26 (Highway 236 "north" of Big Basin) and CycleNet 826Z (China Grade) are closed / under construction due to the [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/842280873 CZU August Lightning Complex Fire] (of later 2020).
The Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST) multi-use "Rail Trail" is in earlier phases of construction; two initial segments are complete (as of 2021-Q4). CycleNet assigns MBSST as CycleNet 40, with various segments as constructed denoted 40A, 40B...up to 40Y. In 2019-Q2, MBSST Construction Segment #1 (was CycleNet 40I, Boardwalk) was completed in the real world as Coastal Rail Trail and entered into OSM tagged {{tag|ref|C40}}, as Coastal Rail Trail / MBSST is a ''de facto'' route in the {{tag|cycle_network|US:CA:SZ}} namespace, though not yet ''de jure'' in the {{tag|cycle_network|US:CA:SZ:CycleNet}} namespace, so {{tag|ref|C40}} solves labeling both route designations with a single tag. (If CycleNet becomes ''de jure'', MBSST becomes {{tag|ref|40}}). The new bike-and-ped-only bridge across the mouth of the San Lorenzo River is also believed to be part of the (poorly geographically specified) California Coastal Trail (also bike-and-ped), proposed as CycleNet 30. As the bridge is {{tag|bicycle|dismount}} (walk bikes), this segment is also tagged (via a relation separate from MBSST) {{tag|ref|30P}}, the "P" suffix in CycleNet meaning "pedestrian only" (on a bicycle, dismount and walk your bike). A newer segment of MBSST through the Westside of Santa Cruz (Bay Street to Natural Bridges Drive) was completed in 2020, and while it is (slightly) discontiguous from the Beach Cycleway (Boardwark area) segment, this is also denoted {{tag|network|rcn}} and {{tag|ref|C40}}; CycleNet 15 (Bay Street) does connect these discontiguous {{tag|ref|C40}} segments. Here, {{tag|ref|C40}} (MBSST along the rail right-of-way) and {{tag|ref|PCB}} (West Cliff Multipurpose Cycleway as Pacific Coast Bicycle Route/PCB/PCBR/CycleNet 95/potentially USBR 95) are two parallel, regional bicycle routes, separated by about 1 kilometer.
