Description

Northeast of US 101, you have an opportunity to explore newer neighborhoods of Petaluma. The city section is an excellent bike ride; however, in May 2017 the route lacked Ridge Trail signage. This is a temporary route until the planned route along the Petaluma River, Sholleberger Park, and Adobe Creek Trail can be finished.
