I'll quit my bitching..... 1 Year ago
|
|
Sometimes we all whine a wee bit too much, yesterday straightened out my head.
Rode from my home in the Napa Valley through the vineyards out to the coast. Turned north on Hwy 1 and rode north for quite some time in brilliant sunshine looking at the crashing waves, while carving the turns. Lunched overlooking the mouth of the Russian River at the Pacific, then came inland along the Russian River through some of the redwoods. Then up and over the hills and back in to the miles of vineyards riding the length of the Napa Valley to my home.
I bitch about tourists and crowds around here but I realized yesterday that I just rode through at least three areas that people dream of riding through...the Napa Valley, Califronia Hwy 1 and the redwoods.
I'll shut the hell up now!

I say the same thing sometimes, and am jealous as hell of you and that ride, but, I ride the blue ridge parkway home from work, tail of the dragon is maybe two hours from my house, its all about what your used to and what you can't get on a regular basis I guess.

"I just rode through at least three areas that people dream of riding through...the Napa Valley, Califronia Hwy 1 and the redwoods."
I do indeed dream of riding that area someday. That is one of the main items on my "bucket list".

That's one of my favorite routes, I ride it often and yes, we are indeed fortunate. I also enjoy taking 128 past Calistoga to Healdsburg then cut west toward the Russian River and out to the coast.... Then there's Skaggs Springs, Lake Berryessa... Pope Valley... and... and... and...
...Maybe we should meet up and ride some time.
