Week of 3/6/23: Workouts this week.

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Hi Folks,

Looks to be on and off bad weather this week; we’ll have to see how Saturday weather will look like. Those preparing for some of the upcoming charity rides may need to obtain rain shell pants, booties and rain jacket to get in cycling time. It shouldn’t be too bad because the rain showers are spread out throughout the day.

Judi at 20 mile point of Napa Marathon cheering on the runners. We were able to cycle on Silverado Trail without any cars on the road.
Spectacular cloud formations that morning. We
were lucky and had only five minutes of rain.
Kevin, Eric, Sandy and I were riding along San Antonio Road area and the Narrows when we came upon two cyclists working on their bikes- and carrying a Dutch flags on their panniers. I got in some good Dutch practice with Mauritz and Marten and learned they were on a six week cycling tour from Vancouver to Los Angeles ( they want see Hollywood). We all made the observation that are so many tall people in Holland!
We took them to lunch and coffee at Dr.Insomniac’s in Novato, shared stories; then rode with them until we had to part ways near Ignacio. Always enjoyable to meet fellow cyclists touring our country!
