I think there's a bunch of TE'ers doing Holstein this year, if that any incentive.

Well I can't decide which I like better, which is why I do both
. I think the climbs on Holstein are steeper, and it's generally much cooler than Napa, if not downright chilly. Napa is frequently very hot, and that final 10 or so miles on Silverado into a hot headwind is usually not fun. However, the post-ride meal (and beer!) and music at Napa is more fun than Holstein.
SK makes a good point - you can come do "The Twist" ride in nicer weather, with nicer company
, instead of Napa.

Sounds like I oughtta do the Holstein and wait for the superber company in Napa. Thanks, you guys. I really like cows, so I was already kind of drawn to this ride anyway.
Just got my cousin's wedding invitation...guess the date? Yep, the 18th. In Southern California. Gotta talk to the family and find out who is/isn't going. Then I can decide for sure on the Holstein. In the meantime, I think I'll jump over to the Holstein thread and see what you're all doing for accommodations.
