I would like to hear about good "rides" around the Bay Area. Maybe we can get a collection going and even rate them in some way for distance, beauty, stops (or lack of stops), interest, food and absence of patrols. I'll start it off with one of my favorite, "quick" rides when I have only a short time (an hour or so) and the RX needs a little exercise.

Begin in the Oakland Hills on Highway 13 (between 24 and 580)and Redwood road. Exit Redwood Road east and drive up, up to Skyline Ave. There are maybe two or three stops from the freeway to Skyline. Cross Skyline and head down into the redwoods and forests and travel without a stop for miles until reaching Castro Valley. Great curves, not much traffic and lots of road side hiking in regional parks, if that's your thing. There are no services to mention, so if you want to stop and stretch, bring your own refreshments.

If you see a Titanium Grey on the road, it's probably me.
Happy driving. RXBEARS

That might have been me on Hiway 13. I've only seen three RX's on the road since December. One in Montclair, a winning Blue, one on 880 (Red) and one last night in Mt View coming out of the Americana Apartment area. Hey great link to the rides. Thanks.

Thumbs Up! Did that run today and it's a nice 8-9 mile road full of twisties. Just watch the loose gravel!
