EAST Bay Area Roads

I've looking everywhere to find a good route(twisty roads, low speed) to drive around where i live but i cant find any, everything is near san jose and stuff, sj is 45 minutes away from me.

You want the answer as to why there are cops patrolling mtn roads?

THREADS LIKE THESE!

Look at a map, there are a ton of cool roads above Oakland. At least you dont live in Iowa.

I have a wall in my room thats only maps of Cali. I just look and find where I want to go that day. Some days a good some are kind of boring. If you want to help keep the cops off our road don't talk about them in a open forum.

Hills above Berkeley thru Orinda, but always a lot of bikers

Marsh Creek road branching off into Morgan Territory Road; I got lost on that one once leaving Concord...ended up at Vasco Rd. Close to that is Byron Highway going thru the levees.

If you dont mind stretching it out....Tesla Road in Livermore eastbound ending @ Highway 580 cia Coral Hollow, also Mines Road and Patterson Pass.
