Couple of rivers still roaring along and numerous creeks and streams noisy enough to be noticed. Had hot soup at lunch in Oakville after the overlook at Vichon Winery at the top of the grade. Marvelous down hill from that winery. Returned downwind on Silverado Trail to the start near Napa. This is really one of the best B rides.
Problem is it takes about an hour and a half to get to the starting point from here.
Big turnout for this ride to San Mateo. Lost some at the coffee stop in Carlmont, but most made it to lunch at Max's deli. The first Tuesday Ride of '97 started with a bang. We had a beautiful, sunny day sandwiched in between storms. Clarke Stanley had two flats and threatens to take the flat tire title from Dick Blaine.
