Wine Country Recovery Ride

Leslie, Odessa, and I met at 7:30am to enjoy a leisurely ride through the Sonoma County wine country. Our route took us out via Old Redwood Highway to Faught Road for a modest climb up Chalk Hill. The air was crisp as we effortlessly made our way up the road observing the beautiful sprouting vineyards on both sides. We stopped briefly at the Jimtown Store for spiced nuts, sour candies, and drinks- yummy! We proceeded via Healdsburg Road, taking a short rest at the Simi Winery, and then into town for some more goodies at the Oakville Grocery. The weather began to warm up as we cycled home through Arata/Hembree Lane and making our way back via Old Redwood Highway. There were tons of cyclists out enjoying this picture perfect day and we rode nearly 44 miles. Wahoo!
