Thanks! If you haven't ridden through northern CA, it's definitely worth a trip. SF Peninsula, Marin, Sonoma are all phenomenal, from flats going past coffee shops and the floatplanes (Sausalito), to a spot on the peninsula where you can see both the Pacific Ocean and the bay at the same time (Skyline Dr). The area that Levi's goes through is gorgeous with rolling hills, and all the vineyards should be waking up from winter. Seeing as you're from NYC (home for me until 7 months ago), any ride out here beats doing laps of Central Park, and while the Palisades aren't bad, the sheer variety and quality of the riding out here is just on another level. That said, if your new gilet works in NYC this week, it's sure to be warm enough for CA spring morning!
