Join Club Ciclismo on Sunday, June 12th for a ride through West Sonoma and Marin counties from Petaluma to Tomales with Ciclismo Classico alumna Debbie Miskell at the helm.
ROUTE: Join Debbie on a ride through the back roads of Sonoma and West Marin on a classic North Bay route. We will ride from Petaluma out Spring Hill Rd/Two Rock/Whitaker bluff roads to Tomales for lunch. We will return to start via Chileno Valley. The distance is 42 miles via rolling hills. There are a few climbs including one short, steep one in Helen Putnam Park on the return, but the view is worth it. Overall, there are no long climbs.
Highlights of the ride include abundant wild flowers, horse/sheep/llama farms, town of Tomales, and some of the best North Bay back roads. Lunch can be bought in Tomales at the bakery which is known for its focaccia among other treats or at the deli. Be sure to bring a snack and wear layers. There is one shortcut which will eliminate approximately 3+ miles and one short hill before lunch.
