About this title

From the Back Cover

From seashore to mountaintop, enjoy the dramatic diversity of Northern California on two wheels. This totally revised second edition includes 36 carefully designed tours, which range in length from less than 12 miles to more than 100 miles. These rides have proven appeal for families, active weekend riders, and competitive cyclists. Put on your helmet, mount up, and: glide across the Golden Gate Bridge and up into the hills surrounding San Francisco on the headlands Loop Cruise; get swept away by the rustic beauty of California's Alpine Country on the Diamond Valley Ramble; bike through a former gold-rush town and take a roller-coaster ride through a pine forest on the Placerville Challenge; or test your mettle against The Wall and Endless Hill as you tackle the 100-mile Lost Coast Classic. Each ride profile includes vivid descriptions of points of interest, excellent route maps, discussion of terrain and mileage, safety tips, and information on the availability of food.
