There is a really nice bike path made especially for the cyclist that goes from one town to another. We took that one last weekend and it was heaven for me. No cars, smooth paved path that ran paralel to a major highway, and it was flanked on the sides by Alpine Lace, wild blackberry plants, oak trees and dairy pastures. Plus, we got to cross over three wooden bridges that spanned the creeks. I thought it was a beautiful pleasant ride but its very boring for experienced cyclists as there aren't any hills and its only about 21 miles.

I also live in Northern Calif and would love to find some bike paths to ride on. Where is this bike path? It sounds like fun.
