    It was a hot day, upper 90’s F, so we put the bikes on the rack and drove the half hour to the coast where it was in the low 70’s 😊 and rode the pacific coastal highway. We saw a bunch of humpback whales, but they’re hard to get good pictures of because they come up momentarily and you never...

    Yesterday we rode the Napa Valley Vine trail from Calistoga to St Helena and back in Napa county. It is a mostly paved path but has sections of dirt and brick. It goes through different vineyards and by many wineries that offer high end wining and dining. Spending the day winery hopping and...

    I don’t have digital pics of my box days, that was 45 years ago but definitely one of the funnest eras of my life.

    Love the video! I raced bmx as a teen and I currently do aerial photography and videography on weekends for extra money, so naturally, I really enjoyed your video. And Trump endorsed, lol! 😆

    The NorCal Pacific coastline was looking stellar today, mid 70’s F* and sunny. It is often times either foggy or windy, but very nice today. We did a 25 miler out and back.

    Yes and you’ll need more than a bike, especially for the underwater stuff.

    Today we did a fairly short 25 mile round trip to Armstrong Woods and back. It’s a grove of old growth redwood trees. Darn those attack rattlesnakes! This is the big granddaddy!

    It was warm yesterday, around 95*F, so we went on a ride out by the coast, where it was foggy and cool. A little too foggy maybe. Ghostly fog floating by

    You know, you just never know exactly what you will see and do on one of these rides. We went on a short 17 miler, mostly paved path. About 5 miles out, my rear brake failed. The cable pulled the lever but it wasn’t moving the caliper pads. So I took the caliper apart, didn’t see anything...

    Yeah, I’m smelling what you’re stepping in. We couldn’t believe the prices. Even our cheap motel was outrageous. $150 for dinner for 2 at this place. I had a burger and she had fish. The cost of living isn’t a whole lot cheaper where I live, in Sonoma County. Night #2, we hit the El Torito at...

    So my wife and I had some time so we loaded the bikes on the rack and made the 3 mile drive south to Pacific Grove in Monterey County, California. Our first ride was the 17 Mile Drive from Pacific Grove to Pebble Beach. Just the coastal section, there and back. It’s $12 by car to get in, bikes...
