Wine Country - Leisure Cycling
We recommend taking scenic and mild rides through the heart of the region's wine
country along West Side and East Side Roads. Also consider Joe Rodata West County
Trail which extends from downtown Santa Rosa to Forestville. They all offer beautiful
views of farms and vineyards.
Road Trip
- Coleman Valley
Coleman Valley Road from Occidental, over the hills and down to the coast is a
top pick. In and out of the forest’s shade the scenic views are stunning
and the road is virtually traffic-free.

Pomo Canyon. 3. Cresting the hills above Lake Sonoma.
