Silverado Trail, Napa Valley

One of my favorite rides is up and down the Silverado Trail. It is a 28 mile ride up to the town of Calistoga where we stop at the Palisades Deli on Lincoln for lunch. Then it's back down the Silverado trail to Napa for a total days mileage of 56 miles. There are no hills, well ok very small rollers and the day is enjoyable for everyone. Yesterday we made record time for a group of 26 people. We were all out and back (with lunch!) in 4 hours and 45 minutes. That is pretty darn good for folks who average about 14 mph.... be proud!

Here's our stretching techniques:


And this is what the Napa Valley looks like in March:
