Default Favorite Drives in the Bay

It's going to be a nice weekend in our Indian summer! What's everyone's favorite spirited drives / twisty roads / scenic drives in the Bay? I'm in SF/peninsula area. Feel free to chime in from all over or out of the Bay!

Two cool drives are: 1) Up and around Mount Tam in Marin County and 2) Copernicus Peak at Mt. Lick Observatory. This latter one is especially twisty. Mount Hamilton Road is very narrow with no railings on the outside to guard against drivers going over the edge...
