Check out Vasco Rd from Brentwood to Livermore. Or Collier Canyon Rd from San Ramon/Danville.

Take Marsh Creek through Clayton and blend into PMok's route above in Brentwood, or go bananas like me and take Morgan Territory there.. Its super sketch, but fun if you are careful..

By super sketch do you mean single lane hills semi dangerous fun. If so that's my route :)

Yes, as in "hmmm... is this still a road?" narrow, into the woods kind of sketch ;)

Did it. Fun but definitely sketch. Encountered half a dozen cars or so and had to pull to the side on muddy embankment. Prob won't drive there for fun anymore. On the plus side, I did get from concord to Dublin in about 35-40 mins during rush hour.

Timing is everything with this route.. I've had days where there are a few bikers and no cars till I hit the Livermore side (usually weekend mornings)..
Glad you made it out safe on the other side. :party0030:

Yeah it was nice. I think Patterson pass is a bit more fun though and better visibility.

Ill check that route out. Ill probably do a Marsh Creek run and swing Vasco to Patterson/Tesla.. Run for a loop then stop by the dealer..

Early Sunday morning is good. Drove it 4 times the other week. Saw 1 car.

I'm new to the area...is vasco/patterson/tesla a city or street?

Vasco Rd is the road that runs kind of North-South between Brentwood and Livermore. It's more of a high speed curvy highway. Patterson Pass and Tesla Rd are both East-West roads that run kind of parallel to each other, both connecting I-5 to the east side of Livermore. Narrower and more technical, though neither is quite as twisty as Mines Rd and not nearly as narrow as Morgan Territory.

Vasco Road = Cop Alley...
