Sonoma County's approach to repaving is like a German nanny handing out candy: what you get is very good, but you get very little.

I completed three climbs: Sonoma Mountain, Lichau and Trinity.  But, today's highlight/discovery was the route to Glen Ellen and back.  The roads are quiet and beautiful.  There's chaparral, vineyards, oak trees, redwoods and California Bay Laurels.

My favorite climb was probably Lichau.  It's as quiet as any of these, has some pleasant shade at the top and not as irregular as Sonoma Mountain Road.  Pro tip: There is a newly renovated visitor center with new restrooms, water and shade just beyond the fire road gate at the top.

Pro trip II:  Riding south on (Old) Adobe Road before sunrise during rush hour is not safe/fun.  It seems to be a popular road for racing the traffic on Hwy 101.
