Both rides proceed from Moskowite Corner to Pope Valley,
Angwin, and the Silverado Trail. The 54 mile route returns to
Moskowite Corner via Highway 128 (Sage Canyon Road). The 112 mile
option continues to Calistoga, Mark West Springs, Santa Rosa, Glen Ellen,
and Napa.
The 112 mile route passes through the Chiles, Pope,
Napa, Franz, Bennett, Sonoma, and Wooden Valleys.
Scenic valleys and wooded hills of the Coast Range.
Vineyards of the Napa and surrounding valleys: you will never be far from a vineyard on this ride.
I recommend bringing a windbreaker, as
micro-climates in these multiple valleys often vary
considerably, and temperatures frequently are cool.
