I am coming to Sonoma for a meeting on Friday and am bringing my bike.  The weather looks a bit crappy, so there is a small chance I will reconsider considering the cost to bring it.  I will be in Sonoma until Monday and then I am free from Mon-Wed.  I don't even have a hotel booked yet.  I am looking to book it where I might find some nice biking.  I am not the biggest hill fan so please don't kill me will all hills.  Any recommendations of where I should stay and bike for a few days?

It looks to be sunny on Sun, Mon, and Weds, hopefully it stays that way. I'd recommend doing the Vineman full or half course to your NW. To your SW, there's plenty of loops like Paradise, or riding out to Stinson Beach.

Just looked up Paradise.  Definitely staying there.  Any suggestions on where we should stay for the best access to cycling?

I think staying Sausalito would be pretty nice. You're close to paths to ride, plus you get a great view of the city, and lots of dining options.

Paradise loop is pretty short if you're starting the ride in Sausalito.  If my memory serves me correctly, if you start in the Presidio in SF, and ride across the bridge to Sausalito, around the loop and back it's about 36-38 miles.  There is one not so bad hill on the Paradise loop. 

If you're already in Sonoma Co, the Vineman course would be a great route.
