SF Bay Area - Best driving roads for a Sunday morning blast?
Hi folks,
Following is a compilation of driving roads for an early Sunday morning blast (and a few to possibly avoid) in the SF Bay Area. Recommendations are from either: .
To enjoy many of these roads, you often need to be out there at the crack-of-dawn so as to find them mostly empty. If you leave it to later in the day, you'll frequently be inundated with cyclists/traffic/etc. That's just a fact of life when living in the SF Bay Area... As regards my personal preferences, I'm partial to roads with: .
They're grouped by region as follows: .
If you've any recommendations of your own that should be added to this list, please post in this thread with sufficient detail so that people know the exact route (e.g. providing a Google Maps link works great). And for reference, the following was last updated as of: November 25th, 2022 North Bay
East Bay
South Bay / Santa Clara County
Santa Cruz Mountains & County
Peninsula / San Mateo County
Points further away from the SF Bay Area North
Karl. PS: Other sites with similar information/recommendations... .

Alternatively, from the peninsula you can take 280 to Page Mill which then turns into Alpine. Regardless you end up at San Gregorio Beach. The main issue with this route is the cyclists on the blind turns especially Sundays. This is a big reason why I'm usually at Laguna/T-Hill/Buttonwillow on weekends and will pop on this road if I have work in the city & time to kill during the week.

I used to enjoy the road from Mt Hamilton Road to Lick Observatory. My house is nearby so I don't need long drive to be there.
Sadly, I moved to San Diego one year ago for school. Hopefully I will be back to Bay area soon.

Skaggs Spring Road https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Skag...d38.678376!1m0
One of the best roads I've driven on in the bay area (probably the best). although it's quite a drive for you, it's definitely worth it. Last edited by ///M3-=FiN=-; 10-02-2017 at 03:29 PM.. |
