Less than an hour from San Francisco, Sonoma County offers tranquil country roads, gently rolling farmland, towering redwoods, lush vineyards, and breathtaking coastline. This stunning variety makes it an ideal cycling venue, and Sonoma County Bike Trails, now in its fourth edition, helps both the casual and advanced cyclists make the most of the possibilities, whether for picnic, wine tour, sightseeing, or just an escape. The book contains 29 illustrated bike trips, ranging from 5 to 27 miles and totaling over 500 scenic miles. Also here are mountain bike rides and a specially designed bike route from Cloverdale to Petaluma. Easy-to-challenging self-guided tours, complete with maps, elevation profiles, and photographs, lead riders to lovely, quiet country roads undisturbed by motorists.
