Just off the shores of Carquinez Straight, this cruise follows less traveled scenic back roads of Martinez as they wind through canyons, oak groves, and rolling grasslands with views of Carquinez Straight. The ride takes off from the busy streets of downtown Martinez, but after 2 miles you'll reach less traveled back roads. Watch for road damage and chips of pavement on Carquinez Scenic Road where it passes the quarry mine. This section is washed out and closed to vehicles, but open to cyclists; be sure to bring a patch kit. The ride starts off with a steady climb and steeper descent followed by rolling hills.
