There is an initial long climb up Redwood for about 1.5 miles, then a great descent then another climb up Pinehurst and another great descent. The ride back has less climbing (because Moraga is at a higher altitude than Castro Valley).

This is an Out-And-Back from CV to Moraga via Redwood Road. Great cycling roads the whole way. There is a bail option to go on to Orinda BART if you took BART to the start, and you don’t want to do the climbs back to CV.
