April 2011

Spring finally arrived in Sonoma County. Last week we got our first good week without rain since November. The weather now is wonderful. It even got hot (80's) for two days last week. Now it is back to normal which is in the mid 60's. Also the wind has been very light. Perfect weather for being outside biking or hiking or even having a barbeque.

Today Sean and I drove up to Healdsburg with the bikes in the van. In downtown Healdsburg we unloaded the bikes and did a Healdsburg-Cloverdale loop. This loop is almost 40 miles. The weather today was awesome. About 67 degrees and no wind.

I like this ride as there are a few hills but nothing too extreme. On the 20 mile return from Cloverdale we rode on West Dry Creek Rd. where there are a lot of small boutique wineries. Lots and lots of other bicyclist ride this route.
