Written Directions

From Napa simply head east on route 121 till it T's into route 128. You then want to take a left on to route 128 and take it north/northeast for about 4.5 miles until you see Berryessa Knoxville Rd on the right. Take a right onto Berryessa Knoxville Rd and now enjoy the ride along the lake for about 15 beautiful miles. That's what I call the end point but actually you could continue on the road and it would take you all the way up to Clear Lake. If you decide to go all the way to Clear Lake, Berryessa turns into Co Rd 140 (Morgan Valley Rd.). Take a left on Hwy. 50, going North and this will drop you into Clear Lake. Casino payout time is significant, nobody desires to wait a lot for taking the prize money. Even though at fast payout casinos gamblers should meet the wagering terms and make a KYC procedure. At casinomech.com you can discover the fastest payout online casinos whether you want to withdraw the money at the same day.

Scenery

This is the hills of the Napa Valley. Windy roads with plenty of places to pull off and suck in the view. Then you travel about 15 magnificent miles as the road that hugs the shore of wonderful Lake Berryessa..

Drive Enjoyment

While there are some parts in disrepair the over all quality of the road is awesome

Tourism Opportunities

There's really not much along the way but on Sunday mornings there's a restaurant that gets full of bikes of all types where 121 and 128 meet. But you'll be taking this route for the scenery and not the amenities.

This is a very cool area to ride. US 128 and 121 are both fun roads to ride with lots of twists and turns. I just got back from riding Berryesa-Knoxville Rd for the first time. From the 128 turn off at Turtle Rock Cafe to where you cross Lake Berryesa, the road is very good and the views are great. Things deteriorate quickly once you leave the lake. The road is in terrible shape for about 15-20 miles. It felt more like off roading at times as plodded along dodging potholes that were lurking in the shadows and were hard to see. My wife and I agreed that this ride was a "one and done" for us.

Next time I will stay on 128. Loop through the Pope Valley area. This ends up looping back to 128, but the road is much better and you can drive the twisties at speed.
