Hi Folks,
Looks like we have a good week of clear and cool weather this week so everyone can get back on track working towards their Spring event goals.
SATURDAY 2/11/23 we may have the slightest bit of mist/drizzle in the early morning before it clears out, but should not affect our workout.
This Sunday morning we have our February “Mustard Ride” in the Napa Valley with a variety of distances in rectangular format from 13,17 and 25 miles. We meet at 9:30 by the little park at the north end of Yountville. From there we’ll ride out on Yount Mill rd for two miles until it hits Hwy 29 ( has good bike lane); then north on Hwy 29 for about five miles, right on 68/128 to Silverado Trail, go right and south on Silverado Trail for five miles and turn onto Yountville Crossover Rd back to the park in town for about 16 mile ride. Others can continue five miles further south on Silverado and turn on Oak Knoll Ave; continue the two miles to Hwy 29, cross over at the light, and onto the Napa Valley Vine Trail bike path back north to Yountville (25 miles total).
Grab a lunch and then head back and you should be in time for the Super Bowl game with time to spare. Post-ride plans will vary for all of us; some will grab a take out, others go directly home, or eat in the little park where they have tables and benches; a few might go to R & D Kitchen restaurant which is right next to the Yountville portion of the bike path.a block from the park.
If this ride fit doesn’t fit in for you this weekend, we’ll have the next ride again in Napa from Yountville on March 5th, the day of the Napa Marathon when Silverado Trail will have no car traffic: that’s one to do for sure!
