You can easily so a century without hearing traffic let alone riding with it.
Also dry riding weather from Mar to Nov.
It’s all so flat, though. You’d have to ride a couple hours each way to Folsom/Roseville or Winters/Vacaville (depending which side of town you live) to get any decent elevation in.
