2. Another vote for the Calaveras out-and-back! NO traffic. Worth doing as an out-and-back, for this reason alone. Gorgeous. ~20 miles each way.
3. Clockwise around Mt. Diablo via Morgan Territory Road. Good for early season, when it's still green out there and not too hot yet. ~55 miles, hilly, rough pavement on the uphill of Morgan Territory Road (which is why you do *not* want to do it counter-clockwise).
4. Kings Mountain Road in Sonoma County. Multiple route options. The one I did was only ~45 miles, but there was a massive amount of climbing; very difficult loop. But it was also the most gorgeous loop I've ever done anywhere in the Bay Area. Sorry I don't have the details - I started near the cost somewhere and went counter-clockwise.
Still on for this, or the 40 mile option?Quote:

Eating breakfast, bikes are ready to go...
I've already been out running this morning. A whooping two miles. :p
Are we coming back over Bolinas Rd.? It makes the route about 45 miles, but gets in a little more climbing for the crazy Death Ride groupies.

This crazy Death Ride groupie could use an easy ride today, thanks. :o
You whoop when you run?
An easy ride would be just fine by me. Just sayin'.
I whoop when it's over. :p
Two early four spellin' write.

40 miles. 1 bakery. 2 hills.
That would be lovely.
Have fun ladies! (and gents...) I will be with you today in spirit, and maybe in the flesh later this year. :)
hope you all had a wonderful time! I was thinking about you all when the last 15+ miles of my 40 mile ride (with no bakery and beer) were in the 50 degree rain!
Hope you took photos!
