SAN FRANCISCO ROAD CYCLING ROUTES
SAN FRANCISCO'S BEST ROAD BIKE RIDES
San Francisco Downtown to Headlands Loop (22 mi / 36 km)
Based on Strava's local guide selection, our Headlands Loop leaves the San Francisco downtown and heads for the iconic Hawk Hill, which is one of Strava's most iconic segments and the must-climb hill for any cyclist visiting San Francisco. This relatively short ride packs some of the best views in all of Northern California. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better place to watch the sunrise!
