I am a little late in updating my blog, but I have been busy. Patti and I joined friends, Deb & Keith for an 8 day trip to California in mid September.
We signed up with Bicycle Adventures, www.bicycleadventures.com for a 6-day cycling trip through the wine country of northern California. We visited Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, Anderson Valley and Dry Creek Valley regions.
We were sag supported and our luggage was carried by vans to our next destination each day. Our cycling mileage was in the 35-50 mile range each day. The terrain was rolling hills with a couple of steeper climbs later in the trip. We usually would stop at 4 or 5 wineries each day and do a tasting.
This was new country for the four of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were joined by 11 other couples and 3 guides. Our tour started in Santa Rosa and we made a big loop through Napa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, Calistoga and some other towns in that area. We also biked on the last day through a redwood forest and were able to see for our first time the majestic trees.
After our tour was completed we headed down to San Francisco and spent 2 days touring Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street and other sites in the area.
This was a great vacation and we would like to do another biking tour similar to this to a different region, perhaps the Tuscan region of Italy.
