Levi’s Take: Takes in the grassy green hills of Southern Sonoma County and Northern Marin County. There are plenty of groves of eucalyptus trees to help you breathe on this ride. There aren’t any long climbs, but the loop, with lots of short steep punchy climbs, is deceivingly difficult.

Road Notes: There’s nothing wrong with hitting granny gear on a climb. Nothing at all. It’s normal. And, if you find yourself landing there every quarter mile on this route, that’s fine. It’s normal. Nothing wrong. We did it, too.
