Ok, probably a lot of people knew, but I sure didn't: the countryside around Davis is amazingly lovely. Road 95A rocks! (Not to mention it looks a lot like southern France. Which admittedly I am only slightly familiar with, but the parts I saw were while riding a bike.) All these country lanes through groves of trees and following streams... little bridges... Ok, I didn't see this much graffiti in France - but it looked cool in person. Plus, Pleasant Valley and Green Valley roads really were pleasant and green. (And flat-ish.)I also managed, finally, to take some pics using my tripod & timer - yet another technical challenge met.
Oh: I also rode my personal record distance today! 95 miles, Davis to Orinda. Now I feel like I actually can do this tour thing... (assuming I can climb on the bike again tomorrow).
More bridges between Davis & here...
That sounds like a lovely ride. I hope to try more riding in the East Bay with the kids in the fall! Good luck on your adventure. I'm hoping to set our blog up this afternoon. We're getting thunderstorms in NY and NJ.
