This climb ranks #8 on the Sonoma County climb list. The climb passes through classic Sonoma County pastureland (yes, not vineyard!) and is fairly remote, with minimal traffic. Through the middle portion of the ride (~ miles 3-4), there are very scenic views west towards Old Adobe Road, Petaluma, Mt. Tamalpais 25 miles south and Mt. St. Helena 25 miles to the north. This is a scenic ride where we are surrounded the entire trip by open fields and distant views of open space. The climb has some severe grades along two 50 yard segments.

This was far more difficult than I expected primarily due to the series of steep pitches, several of which exceed 20% and the 1/4 mile of each that is at least 15%. Once they are handled the remainder is not bad. Fair number of service trucks but tolerable. The scenery is worth it with views of Mt. Tam, San Francisco Bay, Mount Saint Helena, and the Santa Rosa Plain. Potholes are filled in but still bumpy in places.
