Subject: RE: Bay Area Road Biking Depends if you are OK on the road, if so, many, many options. A good way to find routes is to look up various cycling clubs in the area, let's see, a few I know off the top of my head: Grizzly Peak Cyclists Valley Spokesmen Cherry Creek Cyclists (I think) Sacramento Wheelmen (maybe) Look up Bay Area cycling clubs. The point of this is that all of them have a ride page where they list different rides and the routes you take. A good way to get some low travel roads and so on. Be aware, however, that a road that is great on the weekends may be awful during weekdays because of the commute traffic. Other trails: There's a trail in Lafayette/Moraga that goes by St. Mary's college. Also those roads are nice on the weekends. The Iron Horse Trail - from Concord all the way down to Dublin is nice, straight and mostly flat. The Canal Trail (interesecting the Iron Horse Trail very close to Treat Blvd) is another option. The Bay Area in general is great for bikes, there's lots of bike lanes and so on. Have fun! |
