Sutter Creek
Ride Report - Sutter Creek Road from Sutter Creek to Volcano, California
A springtime ride through the Sierra Foothills can be scenic, pleasant and challenging at the same time.
Sutter Creek Road: Nice, straight pavement in some parts. This is the part just after you leave Church Street in Sutter Creek.
Heading out of the town of Sutter Creek in Amador County, just off Highway 49, to the unincorporated town of Volcano, via Church Street (which turns into Sutter Creek Road just outside of Sutter Creek), you will encounter a mixture of gentle, cleanly paved sweeping curves, tight and narrow corners, and a few roughly paved sections.

This section, closer to Volcano than the town of Sutter Creek, is narrower and has older, rougher pavement - some sections are rough; use good sense and avoid trouble here.

Sutter Creek Road - 029 - Curves with Hazard
And here's one reason to be cool - on weekends (these photos were shot on a Sunday) there are sure to be a few bicyclists on the road... so take it easy, enjoy the scenery, and the road.
