It goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that we love our tour partners – it would be impossible for us to offer our cycling and hiking experiences without these amazing folks. Specifically, we want to give a shout out to our partners in cycling, Sebastopol Bike Centre – they’ve been supplying bikes on our Napa Valley Bike Tours and our Sonoma County Bike Tour for the last 2 years. They also are running their own events!
Here are some dates.
ORGANIZED RIDES
This area is a hotbed of organized rides in the spring, summer and fall. Why do an organized ride? There are a number of great reasons:
1) It gives you something to train for. Nothing like that kick-in-the-pants motivation when you sign up for a ride.
2) You make new cycling friends. You ride with a large group of riders and there is always someone who rides at your speed.
You gab, you whine and you sail together to the finish.
3) You get fed all along the way. Awesome snacks at rest stops throughout the route and a delicious meal at the end makes for a luxurious, cared for experience.
4) You will ride faster and farther than you felt you were capable of when you ride in an organized ride.
5) Sag wagons and marshals…you get a flat or worse and someone is there to help you.
6) Free beer…Need we say more?
