Some really good rides around here too, empty long roads with no stoplights, ever.
A ride to Napa Valley and back is a good 70-110 miles, and man is it beautiful there.
You could live in the Napa Valley and ride out to Davis. Anywhere in the Napa/Davis area would be beautiful. Lots of club rides in that area, and also the Davis club does Randoneurring riding. I live between Oakland and San Jose, Ca, and love doing the rides up in that area.
