Napa/Silverado Trail Ride + sandwiches/wine tasting at Artesa - Aug. 16

[Vindingo]

On my last organized ride, someone crashed and that totally sucked. 

earlier this summer I had two in a row!  talk about a bummer...

I think I will try to make this one.  I havent ridden with you in a while C.

Woo-hoo! That would be awesome! 
BTW, the Groupie has been wondering if you got her pink post it note on your bike?

I'll be lurking riding around.

I wish I could join you guys ..... I'll be in Napa that day for my friends' wedding .... I'll keep a look out for some hooligan riders on ducs  [moto]

Hoping to have my bike (and all my other stuff) out there in a month so I can join you guys on future rides

Hey CharliesAngel, I'm posting up in this thread too from the other one where you were asking me for some routes for this ride.

There are a mulititude of options and a lot of factors that will affect them. Might be best if ya called me one afternoon/evening to hash them all out and decide on a route. PM me for number(s).

I would love to be your guide but am pulling OT that day!

PM sent.  Thanks!  I think with your help, this is going to be an awesome little ride/adventure!  [moto]

I see by the route you have edited from my original, your only stop for gas w/o deviating from the route will be in Middletown. You can make it back to the winery no problems from there. Though some with smaller tanks/worse mileage will need to hit something before heading home from the winery, enjoy!!

if Groupie = Frances, I am in. If its not Frances....















.....I am still in.

  There is no other Groupie than Frances - I'll ask her to wear her MOB t-shirt!

Canadian Frances , it  counts

I think you are thinking of "male Francis"...and I would highly doubt that he is a self-professed "Ducati Groupie" since he rides!

Hi CharliesAngel,

Thank you for setting up this ride.  I sent along the invite to the DOC Marin group, so they maybe some others who show up.
Not sure if I can make it yet, have a lot on my plate with interviews.  But definitely will do my best.

Thanks Itsasickness! 
I've made some modifications to the ride and have changed the lunch venue to the Market Deli at Carneros Inn (Frances is off the hook but she may still want to drive up anyway).  Those that want to do the wine tasing, Artesa has organized a complimentary wine tasting and tour at 2 pm.

Its nearing end of business today and "any day" for my bike is looking like at least next week.   I guess  will have to wait for another day.

Hi C,

The ride sounds like a lot of fun and I wish I could go, but I have some friends visiting from out of town this weekend.

Hopefully I'll get to ride with you sometime soon. I wish there was more rides during the week when I'm free and do most of my riding!

Anyways, everybody have fun  [moto]
