Imagonna start mapping some of my favorite rides/routes around the area, and eventually take some photos along the way too.
Besides what Dustin said, there are a good number of classic road routes that loop around here, e.g. 'Three Bears' out beyond Briones and Orinda, 'Carquinez/McEwen' via Martinez, 'Redwood' via Moraga/Canyon/Pinehurst, and 'The Country Clubs' route which traverses several fairways down towards Danville. For dirt and fire trails, you can't beat Shell Ridge open space, and adjacent Diablo Foothills regional and Mt. Diablo s.p.s. Not to be overlooked are all the convenient, off-street connector bike/MUP paths. The Iron Horse, CC and YV canals, and the sleeper Sugarloaf-Shell Ridge trail. There are many nice quiet, older roads that align with the topography (see latest BQ) and "secret" (i.e. non-auto) connector paths bridging disparate cul-de-sac neighborhoods. For a start, here's the trunk of one of my favorite "in town" rambles. Begins at the landmark Heather Farms area which is easy to get to via BART/trail, follows the edge of the hills/open space on some of the more interesting streets, and yields plenty of good opportunities for branching back home via dirt or asphalt: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joe_bunik/6001114040/sizes/l/ =- Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 8/2/11, EastBayGuy <goodwin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I Highly Suggest doing some riding in the Lafayette/Moraga Area.
