We spent five days cycling through Napa and Sonoma counties, taking in the vast panoramas of California, from hot desert climbs to cool coastal descents.

Great pictures. Is the riding mainly flat, or are there lots of hills? Hills I can do – mountains, no way! sounds like a wonderful experience.

Rolling hills and some good climbs. One mountain– we had choices of rides. The company is Lifecycle Adventures– excellent service- self-guided trip but they ferry the luggage from place to place, great food.

Thanks! Great trip. The problem with the biking is that it gives me the false sense that I can then eat whatever I want. Not true! But do love it.

I’m dead envious, what a lovely cycle. My cycle this week has been through the flat landscape of Cambridgeshire, but with beautiful weather and lovely company.

Sorry for taking sooooo long to read and respond, Lisa. We’ve been busy in the Pacific Northwest!
Your photos are wonderful and really give one a sense of place. Cycling looks like a great way to see the world, and how lucky we are to have you for a role model! I’m noticing many more Grandmas on bikes lately. Looks like the sitting in the rocker mold is being broken! Hooray!
