If you are new to the area, new to bicycles or just visiting Sonoma County, we'd like to introduce you to some of our favorite rides. We think this is just about the best place in the world to ride a bike and these are the roads we take our friends on when they come to visit.
Some of these routes are easy, some are not. Each has a description of the terrain, some photos and even a little history and folk lore. There is also a map and turn-by-turn instructions for each ride.
Credit for the descriptions of these rides and the accompanying photographs go to Bill Oetinger. There is probably no one who knows the back roads of Sonoma County better than Bill and there is certainly no one who can describe them more lyrically. So give a thought to Bill if you find yourself reaching for the brake levers as you read about the hairball descent of Trinity or if you smile as you visualize those ill fitting toupées on the hill tops west of Petaluma.
SRCC Ride Library
There is also a SRCC RidewithGPS account where you can find numerous rides Club members have done before. These can be sorted by distance, starting point or feet of climb.
