I want to get out Sunday but only have about 3 hours in the morning before a family function. Ideas on where to go?
Those are most of the good loops. The Mines loop will take four hours, not three. That's my favorite route for that loop. It's been years since I could do that one on those roads because Calaveras was closed until after I left.The Mines Rd/Junction/Mt Hamilton/Calaveras loop, Palomares to Redwood Road to Grizzly Peak to Wildcat Canyon and back, or Mt. Diablo/Morgan Territory (goaty), you call it.

Personally, I'd do Mines over the other two Scott listed.
Every ridden Mines? Since you mentioned it's been a while since you were on a moto all these roads will be damp to wet and can have a fair amount of loose, slippery stuff on them from all the rain. So, set your pace accordingly. Mines up to the Junction from Livermore will be about ~45mins at a nice pace. Once there you can chill for a bit then head out San Antonio Valley for another nice stretch, then turn around before it starts up to Hammy. So, depending on stops and Kodak moments, etc., that should put you back home within your "window".
Where ever ya go... shiny side up and enjoy.
