I'm sorry I don't have any pictures today... I was too busy enjoying the beautiful ride through the hills east of Napa Valley. Really one of the most enjoyable rides of the trip, through rolling hills and trees, past rivers and lakes and vineyards... But don't worry, we should have lots of time to take pictures tomorrow.
The Adventure Cycling route we were following has us taking a ferry at the end to get across the bay from Vallejo to San Francisco. Had we followed their advice, we would actually be in San Francisco and done with our trip right now! But... A ferry?? That is so cheating. I mean, if we wanted to cheat and take something other than a bike, we could have hopped in a car and been done with the trip weeks ago! So no ferry for us.
Getting into SF on a bike, however, is not as simple as one may think. There does not appear to be any direct route. The non-direct route we have chosen took us to Napa... And how often do you just happen to find yourself in Napa Valley with a couple of bikes? So naturally, we decided to take the day off tomorrow and cruise around the valley, meaning our ETA for SF is Sunday!
Only two days left!
Hurray.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You two are awesome. What will you do when you get to SF? Start riding south....

NAPA! Wow you're really close to your destination! It is really beautiful there~ Did you get to stop by and try some wineries?
ReplyDeleteFor your pains of not taking the ferry, I believe you'll be able to bike into SF on the golden gate bridge! Take pictures~
