This week

Week of Monday, October 12, 2026. Four round trips from Concord, CA. First week for this start city, so there is no archive yet.

AI-generated suggestions, not a rider’s trip report. Hours were not checked beyond what is named below. A routing total is not an odometer reading, and it is not a promise the road is open when you get there. Forecast checked Wednesday morning, October 14, 2026 from the National Weather Service forecast via api.weather.gov for the Concord gridpoint (MTR 100,111): Wednesday about 81°F sunny; Thursday about 88°F sunny; Friday about 90°F sunny; Saturday about 90°F sunny (at the top of the 50–90°F preference — start early on the inland and Central Valley legs); Sunday about 76°F; Monday about 69°F mostly sunny; slight chance of light rain late Tuesday, October 20. Coast days (Mendocino, Highway 1) run cooler — pack a layer. No NWS alerts are part of this check.

Shared breakfast for the day rides: 8:00am at Huckleberry’s Breakfast & Lunch, 4391 Treat Blvd, Concord. Restaurantji lists open daily 7am–3pm. Local breakfast spot on the Clayton side of town, with an easy exit toward Walnut Creek and the freeway — not sourced as a motorcycle club hangout. No Airbnb pick this week; nothing standout was verified.

This week — pavement

Week of Monday, October 12, 2026. Starts and ends in Concord, CA.

Mines Road, San Antonio Valley, and Del Puerto Canyon

AI-generated. Concours / peers. Mines Road, San Antonio Valley Road, and Del Puerto Canyon Road are narrow, paved, and remote — no fuel between Livermore and Patterson. Fill up in Livermore.

Day ride

Miles: About 185 miles by OSRM on OpenStreetMap through these stops, measured for this page. Not an odometer reading. Google’s total can differ.

Breakfast: 8:00am Huckleberry’s Breakfast & Lunch, 4391 Treat Blvd, Concord (shared meet).

Lunch: Patterson — confirm a café. The Rainbow Junction (47300 Mines Rd, the old Junction at the San Antonio Valley crossroads) is the classic rider stop, but current listings show it open Saturday–Sunday 11am–5pm only, so plan on it only for a weekend ride.

Dinner: Back near Concord / Clayton — confirm hours.

Side quest: The San Antonio Valley crossroads under Mount Hamilton’s back side — a real rider landmark with no town around it. Del Puerto Canyon’s rock walls and creek bends are the reward on the way down.

Watch for cyclists, cattle, and deer on all three roads. Cell coverage is spotty between Livermore and Patterson.

Week of Monday, October 12, 2026 Pavement About 185 mi, OSRM
This week — dirt in it

Week of Monday, October 12, 2026. Not for a sport-tourer.

Knoxville ghost-mine road and Morgan Valley

AI-generated. GS / GSA / Africa Twin. The north end of Berryessa-Knoxville Road is broken, crumbling pavement and dirt with concrete low-water creek fords; rider reports in 2026 describe deep potholes and slick clay after rain. Sport-tourer stays off it. Multistrada: only if you accept rough broken pavement and real ford crossings. October theme, honestly: Knoxville was a real 1860s mercury-mining town — the post office closed in 1912 and only ruins and old mine ground remain. No ghost stories invented here.

Day ride

Miles: About 200 miles by OSRM on OpenStreetMap through these stops, measured for this page. Not an odometer reading. Google’s total can differ.

GPX note: OSRM’s car routing does use Berryessa Knoxville Road, Knoxville Road, Morgan Valley Road for part of this track, but OSRM does not report surface or gate status. Check the dirt section yourself before riding.

Breakfast: 8:00am Huckleberry’s Breakfast & Lunch, 4391 Treat Blvd, Concord (shared meet).

Lunch: Lower Lake — small crossroads town with fuel and snacks; confirm anything open. No services for roughly 37 miles between Lake Berryessa and Lower Lake — carry water and food.

Dinner: Back near Concord — confirm hours.

Side quest: Knoxville mining-town ruins and the old mercury-mine landscape along the creek — real history. Stay on the public road; the mine land and the McLaughlin reserve are not open riding.

Do not ride the fords if water is more than a few inches deep or the concrete has green moss. Paved alternate: skip Knoxville and run Pope Valley to Middletown via Butts Canyon Road.

Week of Monday, October 12, 2026 Dirt in it Broken pavement and fords About 200 mi, OSRM

Day 1 — Concord to Mendocino via Anderson Valley

Miles: About 169 miles by OSRM on OpenStreetMap through these stops, measured for this page. Not an odometer reading. Google’s total can differ. A bit under the usual 170–230-mile target (169 by OSRM); this page does not pad it with filler.

This week — six-day

Week of Monday, October 12, 2026. Five overnights. Ukiah / Eureka (two nights) / Mendocino / Healdsburg.

Lost Coast and redwoods loop from Concord

AI-generated. Pavement primary. Shelter Cove Road is steep, paved, and tight; the redwood days are slow by design.

Day 1 — Concord to Ukiah via Clear Lake

Miles: About 201 miles by OSRM on OpenStreetMap through these stops, measured for this page. Not an odometer reading. Google’s total can differ.

Side quest: Highway 16 through Cache Creek Canyon above Rumsey — the quiet canyon between Esparto and Clear Lake most riders never try.

Miles: About 180 miles by OSRM on OpenStreetMap through these stops, measured for this page. Not an odometer reading. Google’s total can differ.

Side quest: Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway through Prairie Creek Redwoods — paved, slow, and full of old growth and elk. Jedediah Smith redwoods at Hiouchi on the turn.

This is an out-and-back on US-101 north of Eureka, so some road repeats. Shorten at Klamath if you only want the redwoods.

Day 4 — Eureka to Mendocino via Shelter Cove

Miles: About 193 miles by OSRM on OpenStreetMap through these stops, measured for this page. Not an odometer reading. Google’s total can differ.

Side quest: Shelter Cove on the Lost Coast — the one paved way down to that coastline, steep and tight on Shelter Cove Road. The Highway 1 descent from Leggett to Westport is the payoff.

Day 5 — Mendocino to Healdsburg via Willits and Hopland

Side quest: The Skunk Train depot in Willits — a real 1885 logging railroad; check its schedule if you want to see a train move.

Highway 1 north again to Leggett, then US-101 south — this repeats the Day 4 coast in reverse so the coast gets ridden in both light directions.
