This ride is recommended for experienced riders due to the relatively steep climbs in the Southampton area. The climbs encountered will, at times, offer fast descents of up to 35 mph.

Starting near the waterfront the ride goes through historic Benicia, the Arsenal, up along a ridge with views of Carquinez Strait, into the Southampton residential neighborhood and then a descent through Benicia State Recreation Area on your wayback to the start.
