Us at the Marin Headlands overlooking the Golden Gate
After our long trip through the Northern US and Canada, we planned to rest for a couple weeks in Sacramento. Our ‘break’ consisted of 3 parts:
A week in Elk Grove:
We did a ton of cooking, sleeping, organizing, and hanging out with Steve and Barbara. Steve’s friend John also came to town, which gave us an occasion to visit Apple Hill and the fantastic wineries of Shenandoah and Amador counties.
A week in Detroit:
Visiting my family, the excuse being that we had come in for Yom Kippur. We also set up a couple road bikes we keep there and did a lot of great riding at Kensington Metropark.
A bit more time in Elk Grove, followed by a long weekend in San Francisco:
We were thrilled that two sets of our NYC friends were going to be in SF on the same weekend – CJ and Joanne (in town because Joanne was running the Nike Women’s Marathon), and Corey (in town for fun). We rented a room in a guy’s apartment from AirBnB in the Bernal Heights neighborhood (which happened to be in the same house CJ/Joanne were staying in). We had a great time walking around the city and watching Joanne race. And to top it all off, we went for a 3 hour MTB ride in Marin County on Monday with CJ and Corey.
We were sad to be done with our few weeks of ‘rest’, but excited to start the next leg of our travels – the Southwest.
