Decided to bike ride around Richmond, CA. Nice route to ride because it is flat and I didn’t want to ride any hills today.

The old Mechanics Bank.

Hotel Mac in Point Richmond. Nice place to eat.

Time to take a break. 

There are some nice old buildings in Richmond. Actually the downtown isn’t bad but money needs to be invested. 

The route I like to ride takes me through Point Pinole. A bike/walk path has been built which will take me to Richmond Parkway and ride into Point Richmond. From Point Richmond I can take a ride to Emeryville along the water. It is a nice bike/walk path. Also can stop in El Cerrito and Albany for snack breaks too. When the time change hits and the weather is warmer will be a good way to spend the day.

Every time I ride this route to Point Richmond I never see any other cyclist. The trail in Point Pinole is new so maybe not too many people know about it or they don’t want to really ride it. I like the route because it keeps me mostly out of traffic and if I can stay out of traffic the better the ride.
