Howell Mountain and Pope Valley
The easter hills of Napa Valley have many great roads for cycling. This one is an easy one. Assuming one starts in St. Helena it’s only a 27 mile ride but but considering some of the Napa Valley views and the long moderate climbs, you might just want to do it twice. These are popular roads for cycling and you’re …

Trinity and Spring Mountain Roads from Santa Rosa
Starting in Santa Rosa, this is a moderate ride with a couple of pretty good climbs in it. Heading up Sonoma Valley you will make your way to the first major climb, Trinity Road. Near the summit, at Cavedale Road, there is a fire station that has a faucet that is very handy for topping off water bottles. The descent …

Spring Mountain and Trinity Roads from St. Helena
Starting in beautiful St. Helena, this is a moderate ride with a couple of pretty good climbs in it. The first climb should not be underestimated as it is initially an easy grade and the real climbing starts about halfway into your ascent. What makes this climb challenging though is that it is a continuous climb without any flat spots …

King Ridge loop from Duncan’s Mills
King Ridge is a road that is included as a part of the incredible Levi Leipheimer’s King Ridge Grand Fondo. The route we’ve mapped for you here is on some of the best of what The Fondo has to offer and it will take you some places the Fondo won’t.

Sebastopol and Sweetwater
This is a sweet (no pun intended) little ride with one really good climb in the middle of it. Ragle Ranch Regional Park is a popular location as a start/finish point for many group rides. Much of the first and last parts of this route take you on the West County Trail. This is a mixed use trail that seems to …

The TOWERS!
This climb is a local favorite. We have shown the route starting at Highway 12, but you can start anywhere or add this into another ride, and since the way in is the way out it we didn’t show it as a round trip. If you are unsure about cycling on gravel roads then you may want to shorten this …

The Geysers Loop
This loop, starting and finishing in downtown Healdsburg, includes one of the biggest local climbs we have to offer. It a substantial climb but well worth the effort as the Geysers Road has very little car traffic, which makes it a favorite for cycling. Sections of the road are gravel but the surface is solid and suitable for a road …

There are no big climbs here and much of the route is flat but there are parts where you will be treated with a fun rolling roadway. A great pit stop for …

Cavedale via Sonoma Mountain
Enjoy the views! Cavedale is one of the rewarding climbs in our area. It is recommended that you tackle this route fro the south as the road surface is pretty poor. This is something that you wont notice nearly as much when climbing as when descending. The preferred descent is Trinity Road which you will come to shortly after the …

Willowside – Bodega Bay Loop
This ride is mostly rural and the roads, with a few exceptions, have light automobile traffic. After your climb to Occidental the route takes you through a refreshing redwood forest. As you continue westward you will probably find Bodega Bay fogged in during the summer months but any other time you should be rewarded with some beautiful views of the Pacific. …
