Roadway: Two lane rural roadway with a double yellow center stripe, no shoulder, and in fair to poor condition.
Traffic: Minimal.
Parking: At the start of the climb or one-tenth of a mile up the road from the start (Map; Street View).

Be sure to consider riding in Napa County and Sonoma County if you are in the area. If you have travelled to Lake County to cycle, you are welcome to contact me at john@pjammcycling.com if you have any questions about the area - I grew up and live in nearby Sonoma County, but do have a good working knowledge of the surrounding area, including Lake County.
