Default Driving roads in East Bay

Hey guys, I'm at Berkeley right now and I'm not too familiar with any driving roads in this area. I want to go for a drive tomorrow but I don't know where to go. Are there any places I can go around here?
Thanks

Oh and can you guys just give me directions instead of linking me to pashnit because I don't want to pay 20 bucks when I only need directions to a couple of places up here.

Another student from Berkeley.

Do you know where Grizzly Peak is? If you just follow it, it is usually a decent drive, but there are cops around now. I like driving on Grizzly Peak, Skyline, Pinehurst, and Redwood, then go back home on the 880. Last time I went for a drive Pinehurst was down though.

I like to drive through Tilden. Take Highway 24 towards Walnut Creek and take the first exit after the tunnel and head up to Tilden Park golf course. Nice drive on the way up lots of turns and good views

You're a student at Berkeley and you don't get Internet access on-campus?

Who said I don't get internet access on campus? I use airbears when I'm on campus and right now I'm in my apartment off campus.

Go bears! Berkeley rocks! Well..it rocked my ass when I was there...


You probably don't wanna go for a drive after the first rain. I saw a van fishtail earlier.
