INTRO
This is the sixth hardest bike climb in Sonoma County. The first half of the climb presents the greatest challenge with an average grade (9.2%) nearly double that of the second half (4.9%). During the summer, the temperatures in this area can approach and exceed 100 degrees, so beware of the weather. This is a private, peaceful, challenging climb surrounded by oaks and forest along most of this relatively secluded climb.

Geysers Road South and Pine Mountain out and back make for a good bike climbing day where you will see but a handful of motor vehicles (and not many cyclists, either . . . ). This climb is 60 miles gaining 9,200' (Map).
