The morning opens on a cool ridge above Sonoma County, wind pushing through oak branches as your e‑bike hums awake. Riders gather at the Trail House, tires warm, maps unfolded; the trail slips away into sunlit meadows and a tangle of singletrack that threads through mixed oak and fir. The land urges forward—gentle climbs that reward with wide valley views, sharper pitches that test balance and braking.
