Cycling

The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. -  Iris Murdoch

As Sonoma County is one of the world’s premier destinations for cycling, and Santa Rosa is the ideal hub for the intrepid cyclist, the motel worked closely with one of its investors, Giro d’Italia champion Andy Hampsten, to make The Astro a haven for bike enthusiasts. Our staff is equipped to assemble and make basic repairs on site and the motel has Shinola Bikes on site for rental. The Astro is located within minutes of The Santa Rosa Creek Trail, which takes riders of any skill level along a car-free path from downtown through a variety of picturesque landscapes, and connect more ambitious cyclists to a network of longer loops.
