-----Ride Report-----
California is
renowned around the world for a few things.
Yosemite, Disneyland, Hollywood, Arnold, and the Napa Valley. There are
many
agricultural areas in California, but none are as stunning as the
patchwork sea of well manicured vineyards in this region. I have
many fond memories from growing up here. The changing colors
of the vineyards and the aromas of the wine making processes are etched
in my mind to this day. I chose to do this ride late in the year
because the Crush season will be in progress and the vines are changing
from green to the earthy browns and reds. We will explore the valleys
and hillsides along the popular tourist routes and the little known
back roads.
