Straight talk
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Traffic
The California Wine Country is a world-renowned cycling destination and in recent years has also become a popular destination for drivers. Backroads strives to find routes that are quiet and off the beaten track. However, due to the geography of the area and the amount of ground we cover, there will be routes on this trip that follow more heavily trafficked roads for portions of the ride. Of course, we'll always call out these areas and offer a shuttle should you wish to avoid them.
