    You could. Or map your own Sonoma sustainable bike tour

    But seriously one can argue about about beef till the cows come home whether it's the cow farts, the high costs of transport, feed and water, burning the rain forest to make our happy meals .... I just feel if you have local options for food it's better on oh so many levels.

    The farmers and ranchers in Chile or Argentina (or here if you're in Chile or Argentina. This is a global board after all) are wonderful. But I'm here and I can't ride there. Eating local whenever and however possible is one way we can preserve our great places to ride.
