This is not only a great loop, but it's convenient for just about anybody. Low traffic, varied terrain, and great scenery compliment this cruise around San Pablo Reservoir.
Riders from Berkeley, Concord, Walnut Creek, Martinez, etc. can all ride their bikes to this loop. Riders from other parts of the Bay Area can take BART to Orinda. This is also the loop used by the Berkeley Hills Road Race each spring. Imagine doing five laps at race pace as you ride this loop!
