Hi Folks,
Back on track this week though we’ll get some rain to interfere with your training. We did cancel last Saturday’s HR/ XT due to rain, but should be okay for this Saturday. Last . Sunday turned out to be perfect day for our “Mustard Ride” through Napa Valley starting and ending in Yountville. Mustard was out in force between the rows of vines – a beautiful site. The ride was capped with a lunch at R & D Kitchen located next to the bike path.
Next group ride will be on 3/5/23, the day of the NAPA MARATHON on the Silverado Trail (we start from the north end Yountville, by the little park at north end of town. The marathon starts at 7:30 AM in Calistoga and heads 26 miles south to finish at Vintage HS. I suggest meeting relatively early at 8:30 so we can take advantage of the time period that the organizers keep Silverado open: will be a rolling opening of the road. I suggest we cut across the Valley (2M) on the Yountville Crossover to Silverado (that’s the 18 mile split of the marathon, then head north towards Calistoga direction until we reach the tail end of the running field; turn around and then head south towards the 23 mile point and take Oak Knoll Ave Crossover, across Hwy 29 at the light and head north on the lovely Napa Valley Vine Trail 4 miles back to Yountville. Those who want to go shorter can cut back across via the Yountville Crossover to the park. A distance available for everyone1 It’s just a pleasure to ride Silverado without any cars on the road!
