[read more] Spandex + wine + food is a recipe for a fantastic Saturday ride.
The last time around this ride was postponed due to rain and it looks like perfect weather in Napa is forecasted for 75 degrees for those of you looking to get in a ride in warmer weather in preparation for summer tris.
The plan: a casual no drop ride from Napa to Calistoga. We will start in the parking lot for Nob Hills food and Jamba juice and ride to Pioneer park in Calistoga where we can use their restrooms and water fountains as well as relax for a bit. The ride is completely flat so keep in mind that this is a social ride. It is 28 miles from Napa to Calistoga (making it a 56 mile flat and easy out and back).
Start point: Nob Hill Food Parking Lot
611 Trancas St
Napa, CA 94558

Start time: 10am at the Nob Hill Foods parking lot. Please let me know if you are running late. We are planning on starting with 15 minutes of 10am. My phone # is 415-271-8918.
Estimate end time: At an average of 15mph we should be done by around 2pm. The plan is to regroup at the end and have a late lunch or early dinner. If the group is up to it we can do a wine tasting before dinner.
Carpooling: If you can go and have a car please write on he Facebook wall and let us know if you can bring any other bikes with you.
