Routes / Early March for Napa and North?
« on: February 05, 2020, 02:27:36 pm »
Hi All:
Time is tight these days, and the only week I can get away is the first one in March. Would rather avoid going to the South, since the last time I went was pretty scary. (What is it about spandex that makes people in pickups go crazy?) California seems much more simpatico, and milder than New York. I've pedaled through quite a bit of Contra Costa County and over the Carquinez Strait up through Napa over the years, so I thought a Napa-to-Mendocino-to-SF route sounded like fun. But what about the weather? Motels are on the agenda, since camping would seem to be pushing my luck. I'm expecting some rain, that's okay, but endless rain and wind doesn't sound too thrilling. Has anybody ridden through the area in early March? Thanks for the tips.
