I would take Walnut Ave all way the until it becomes Bancroft and then use the Iron Horse Trail as a straight shot into Pleasant Hill Bart.
I am a local boy, these are my backyard roads.
Walnut/Bancroft is a false flat downhill with wide, wide bike lanes/shoulders and great surface.
You will be cruisin' for sure, plus it often has a tail wind here.
