Waves to Wine Pictures

Wow, you got her! Bare feet and all. I'll be in awe of her forever.

Hey, Unicyle Girl has a blog !

She mistook the climb up Highway 1 for Mt. Tam, but under the circumstances she could well be excused for that !

Based on Gracie's blog, and reports from the gang at BikeForums, I'd say the Amici Veloci ladies made an excellent decision to bail out on day 2.

Lessee ...

Get up at 5 am, start out in the freezing cold, go over really crummy roads, and encounter rest stops which reportedly ran out of food (!),

- vs. -

Sleep relatively late, wander over to breakfast at the IHOP next door and be entertained by Katherine the uber-waitress, and then mosey up to the ever delightful Preston Winery for a wine & bread & cheese luncheon with a bunch of really great friends.

Gee, I don't know ...

Here are a couple that I took:
some of the ladies look cold before we got going (aka_kim, Emerald, and SadieKate?)


The group before the start (missing Trekhawk and Snapdragen):

A couple more (now that I'm figuring out how to add photos to posts):


Ninabike and SadieKate(?) prior to crossing the Golden Gate Bridge:



Veronica at one of the prettier points along the ride:




Sadiekate and Trekhawk at the Sonoma Mountain village (finish of day 1):

Awesome! And I'm jealous of your sunny weather! It's raining cats and dogs up here in the Seattle area! I guess if I want to look at the sun this week I'll just have to come here and look at your pictures again!

Thanks for all the photos. It's great to put faces with the names we see a lot on this forum.
