Re: [RBW] Planning to ride Sacramento - San Fransisco

I like both the North Bay and the South Bay for touring. It's true that Silicon Valley is more densely populated than Marin, but you don't tour in the valley: you ride up in the hills, and you ride on the coast. It's quick to get away from the densely populated areas, provided you are willing to cl

Re: [RBW] Planning to ride Sacramento - San Fransisco

"Hot, flat and windy"? H ... Not really. Sure, it's hot in the summer, and the first 25 miles or so are mostly flat, but after that the course is very lumpy, with a number of minor and major climbs. Here's the route in GPS, which estimates about 6,700 feet of climbing: http://ridewithgps.co

Re: [RBW] Planning to ride Sacramento - San Fransisco

Replying to this now that I'm back from the Moot, and I have to agree with Peter. I've ridden from the Sacramento area to Napa several times. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't voluntarily schedule a two day tour with that as one of the days. It will be hot, flat and windy. One can spend two happy

Re: [RBW] Planning to ride Sacramento - San Fransisco

I plan to submit this as a perm sometime. For now, it's just a fun ride. BTW, this route has been much improved in the past few years with the widening of Hwy 12. There is now a nice, wide bike lane along the highway between Napa and Sonoma. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com

Otto, For what it's worth -- Sacramento itself is a worthwhile destination, but riding from Sac to San Francisco would not be at the top of my list if I were a visitor. Sacramento is in a very flat river valley, it will be quite hot, and I don't consider that area particularly scenic. On th

Carl: I have a 200-kilometer route from Davis (just west of Sacramento) to San Francisco via Napa, Sonoma, Petaluma, Fairfax, and Sausalito. My friends and I have ridden this many times. The ride from Davis to San Francisco typically takes us about 12 hours, including stops for breakfast and

Re: [RBW] Planning to ride Sacramento - San Fransisco

I haven't ridden that section but the Adventure Cycling Association has a route map that takes you from Reno, Sacramento, to SF. You should check there because it may be a good option. Regards, Addison Wilhite, M.A. Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology
