This might be the ultimate Sonoma County Adventure. From the Wine Country Town of Healdsburg you’ll roll through the vineyards of the inland valleys, climb the steep Coastal Range and descend to the crashing Pacific. After riding one of the most beautiful sections of the California Coast, you’ll follow the
Russian River back inland as it winds its way through the Redwoods and back to Wine Country. Ride a lot but want a little extra help? We now offer Performance E-BIKES but you'll still get a workout! Want to do this ride but maybe not all in one day? Check out our 5 DAY/4 NIGHT SONOMA ADVENTURE TOUR, it offers so much more.... (less)

A local favorite! If you have one day to ride and want to ride 50 miles without a lot of climbing, this is the ride. The loop takes you through three well known wine regions in northern Sonoma Valley. There's also a couple nice places to get lunch along the route. The terrain is flat to rolling on mostly newly paved roads mixed with some rougher sections- for a little local character. With our new PERFORMANCE E-BIKES mixed level riders can ride together!

You'll ride south-west-north through the Russian River Valley area and back through Dry Creek Valley, east-south over Canyon Rd and into Alexander Valley. (less)

Wow! This route is truly epic and for fit/experienced riders only. Part of the Terrible Two Brevet course. A favorite for hard core seasoned cyclists. About 9000 ft worth of climbs on remote roads through the coastal range to the Pacific Ocean and back -so please plan carefully. North from Healdsburg, west through the mountains, south along the coast before heading on mercifully easier terrain, through the Russian River Valley and back to Healdburg. You can consider doing this route in two or three days as you can find some great lodging at the coast. Great idea for bike clubs and groups. Let us plan it for your group! (less)

Lake Sonoma is one of my favorite places in Sonoma County with vast rugged, endless wilderness. Rockpile Rd is the only public road that snakes along the ridge at the north end of Dry Creek Valley for 13 miles and comes to an end. On rare clear spring days, the top offers views of the snow peaked Snow Mountain at 7600 ft, in the Mendocino National wilderness over 100 miles away. Rockpile is a very challenging ride but a ride that's all about panoramic views, wilderness and low traffic. (less)

The Cloverdale Summer Bridge is typically open from June through October (exact dates vary based on rainfall) and enables this popular flat to rolling ride that covers a good portion of Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. A great summertime route that travels north through Alexander Valley before crossing over the Summer Bridge and hugging the western base of the Mayacama Mountain Range as you continue to the town of Cloverdale. Stop for a coffee, or just continue on over the small ridge into Dry Creek Valley and roll back down to Healdsburg. (less)

This is considered an Intermediate to Advanced route and has a bit of elevation gain, a few good hills on Chalk Hill Rd but in general, the terrain is flat to rolling. As well, this route does travel through some higher traffic areas in the town of Windsor in order to get over to Chalk Hill Rd so it's suited for riders that have good traffic tolerance. This is a popular route for those staying in the town of Windsor or riding multiple days in the area and wish to stay in the valleys. Many local club rides begin at a park near Chalk Hill. (less)

A great summer time route and very popular with local cyclists as it allows us to explore the back roads of Bohemian Sonoma County that are otherwise closed or flooded during the winter months. The bridge, making the road passable on Neely Rd, generally opens by the end of May. This route also offers a great deal more shade and in places, cooler temperatures. Mostly rolling with moderate hills but of course some short steeper sections, however, the gearing on our road bikes is suitable & for mixed level riders we offer Performance E-Bikes. (less)

Bottle Rock ride is designed for seasoned riders who are not new to hilly century rides. Lake County is known to be hilly and windy with twisty technical descents and varying road conditions-this ride includes a steep gravel 2 mile long downhill section. That said, if you consider yourself an experienced/advanced rider this is a truly spectacular ride! Best time of year is early spring as it's hot in the summer and during the spring you'll have wild flowers and great views of Mt. Snow and the Sierras snow topped mountains. (less)
