cloverdale loop
about this trip: About 4 to 4 1/2 hours at a moderate pace of 10 mph. This is a circular route riding narrow country roads. The route is suitable for active recreational riders.
distance: About 40 miles
notes: The route features narrow country roads with light traffic and several hills. West Dry Creek is a lovely road that takes you past several famous wineries and vineyards. It has some low-grade hills. Dutcher Creek is a long 3 percent grade with a good shoulder. Washington Street School Road has about 500 feet of gravel because it is a temporary summer crossing over the Russian River. This summer crossing closed during October. If you do this ride after summer, at Crocker, turn right at Asti Road, which parallels Highway 101. Interesting coffee shop called Breaking New Ground is at 212 N. Cloverdale Blvd.
