I have a Trek hybrid and a Specialized Allez. I bet you have some nice riding areas up in Napa.

Yes, Napa has great rides with everything from flat roads to severe climbs... Nice rollers too... I'm still looking for air before I try the more moderate climbs... how about you? Nice rides there?

I bet it's enjoyable riding along the coast highway... I recently rode Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, 17 mile drive and it was spectacular! If you ever have the opportunity, take it. it's a great ride...
