Healdsburg, July 15th - who's going?

[tprevost]

OMG!! You guys have transported me home!! These roads are my old stomping grounds. One thing I don't miss is that danged FOG!! I HATE fog!! Give me HEAT HEAT HEAT!!!!
You guys were lucky to have no traffic. I remember many times nearly being run down by half drunk "wine tasters". But I did have more than a few FAVE routes outside of Healdsburg. BTW- if you are ever in Healdsburg again you MUST stop by the costeaux french bakery!! CARB HEAVEN I tell you!!
Oh- and in Windsor- Langleys on the green is FABULOUS for a nice dinner!! They have this chocolate macadamia crunch cake that I have dreams about!!

Ummmm.... excuse me missy.... where were you before we all left????? You are in BIG trouble woman!

I did a beautiful 20 miler Friday on the north end of Santa Rosa, and through the south end of Windsor... couldn't believe how bicycle friendly the roads were... every driver gave me tons of room and in the cases where they had to wait a bit to pass, were very patient... I was LOVING life!!! I kept trying to tell Jobob and Snap (and anyone else, for that matter) that they needed to do that loop! I know you love AZ but I'd move up to Sonoma County in a Nanosecond if Adam would go!

Shoot! I could have sold you my old house in Windsor.
It was on the west side so easy access to Healdsburg.
I grew up in Sebastopol, and pretty much lived there all my life. Save my 1 year stint as a nanny in NY.
I guess I took the area for granted, but I just didn't care for the weather. Some call it "mild", I call it COLD!!
It's also very expensive, and the traffic is hell. Spend some time on the only artery in the area- the 101 and you'll soon see what I mean.
yeah it's nice, but there are some pretty hefty strings too!

RunningMommy,

Yeah, I know what you mean about the 'strings'; its the same in most nice places... I guess you just have to choose the 'strings' that you are willing to live with Santa Cruz is pretty much the same as far as the one main road (Hwy 1) so I know exactly what you're talking about on 101! ... although I was planning on hitting the lotto first so I never had to be on 101 during commute hours

It is very beautiful up there though
