Otto, I did that ride back in 2012 and split it over two days. My halfway point was a family members, but there are plenty of options in petaluma, I imagine. I would have to say the second day was just tremendous and amazing, but the first day provided a nice contrast. I grew up in the Bay Area and had been to this section of California many many times, but it wasn't until I rode it on my bike that I really understood the terrain and its beauty. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/988169 pics: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jpbikeresearch/sets/72157629546704651/#
