So many people have worked hard to prepare this mapping system and it's nice to know they are forgiving on the time to ride a bike... easier for holidays that way.
Curiously the stretch between the Embarcadero in San Francisco northward to Sebastopol is usual made by expert cyclists by around 1 or 2 pm on Saturdays.
The map says to allow about 8 hours.
Enough said go by electric bike or miss lunch!
Lunches are wonderful and you can't beat the company. They'll even sell you an ebike if you go by Blue Sky Motors where the Ford dealership used to me. Lots to choose from and the cyclists who seem to enjoy the long distance riding use recumbents.
Just to show that almost anyone can ride an electric bike watch the news. Never know what grandmas do these days. One just left Palo Alto traveling to the midwest on a bike!
Another ride I love is south bound along the coast to Half Moon Bay (they have one of the best Ford dealers in the country right there on the coast, family owned. Both are wonderful communities.
LOL
