Here's another ride for the southern half of the East Bay. Once you get out on Calaveras Road you'll find almost no traffic and great views.
There is one long climb, but it isn't very steep at all. You might want to be careful if you're riding here during commute hours during the week though. Some east bay commuters take this route to bypass Sunol Grade on 680. Any other time though, and you'll think you're out in the middle of nowhere.
