After heading right out of Bacchus Landing, cycle 0.2 miles before making a right onto West Dry Creek Road. Enjoy several miles of gentle, undulating gradient and smooth pavement along this stunning, vineyard lined road. After about 9 miles, turn right onto Yoakam Bridge Road. Turn left onto Dry Creek Road and ride out to the Lake Sonoma Recreational Area. The rest stop, at 12.8 miles, is on your left after a short jog through a large parking area. Along with other treats, this is where you will find the legendary, freshly made fresh beignets, brought to you by our friends at the Cloverdale rotary. A bike mechanic will be on site to address any difficulties. Doubling back the way you came in, head down Dry Creek Road before carefully veering onto Canyon Road. You will have a gentle climb up to an old graveyard, before an exciting downhill. After turning south onto Geyserville Avenue, the second rest stop is at mile19, where Fermata Coffee will be offering coffee, beverages and fresh baked pastries. After refueling, head east onto Hwy 128 across the Russian River, turn left onto Red Winery Road for a beautiful ride through the east side of the Alexander Valley. Turn right onto Pine Flat Road and head south for a short distance before arriving at the next rest stop at mile 28, Jimtown and Then Some. After a satisfying feast of fresh Dim Sum, head back toward Healdsburg down Alexander Valley Road. After a short detour onto Lytton Springs, you turn left back onto Healdsburg Avenue. At Grove Street you will access the Foss Creek Pathway, which will take you back through town. After jumping back onto the pavement, continue to the roundabout and take the first exit, a slight right onto Mill Street. In less than a mile you will be back at Bacchus Landing, to join the post ride celebration!
