The Rides
From big mountain out-and-backs to 100 mile journeys through the countryside to short spins around town, these detail the experiences I have and the things I see as I pedal along.
Chews Ridge, CA
It's possible to have a snowy day in Monterey County, see some epic views of the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, and end up in a sunny town on the beach.
Mount Saint Helena, CA
The biggest mountain in the San Francisco Bay area is one beast of a climb. At the summit are breathtaking views of Lake County, the Napa Valley, and Sonoma County.
Carrizo Plain, CA
50 miles away from San Luis Obispo, riding to Carrizo Plain is a strenuous journey on wonderful roads to a part of California that's remained mostly untouched by time itself.
