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.
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.

Sutter Creek Road - 035
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.

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.

A good sign. Lots of twisty curves ahead, of varying degrees of difficulty.
