It's a good road if you're into collecting bicycle hood ornaments.

We ran the marin county portion of the route on sunday. Great roads some are fresh paved also, not to much traffic. Marin portion comes out on Hwy 1 in Tomales, we can continue into sonoma county.

Any favorite roads anyone would like to see in the Sonoma County portion. I'm putting some of my favorites on it. Open to suggestion.

I'll try and post the route by tomorrow. Do you guys want to plan a lunch stop as part of the run?

D ST. becomes Pt Reyes-Petaluma Rd.
Turn right onto Hicks Valley Rd. out to Wilson Hill Rd.
Follow Wilson Hill Rd. to Chileno Valley turn left.
Turn right onto Tomales-Petaluma Rd.
Turn right onto Bodega Ave.
Fixed. Added all the street/road names.

I commute over several of those roads M-F.

I might add the suggestion of turning LEFT onto Tomales-Petaluma Rd., then turning RIGHT onto Two Bridges Rd. Once you come to the T intersection (Fallon-Two Rock, IIRC), you turn LEFT and either cut across on Shoreline Highway, or you drive through Gehricke Rd. to cut across to Valley Ford Rd., which will lead you out toward Bodega Bay.

This will allow you to transition to Valley Ford-Occidental Rd. with a short transit in order to re-group, slow down, and make sure everyone is safe and with the group before hitting some more back roads.

weather looks good both days. Here's the map on paper. Looks like around 5hours, not including lunch. The map follows Roo's route
