It was a 280-mile day, which isn't too shabby for one's first real adventure! I learned that crossing the Golden Gate Bridge on a bike can be a real treat; hopefully next time I'll have my video camera along! There were many wonderful sights on this trip, and unfortunately, I couldn't capture most of them on film. But there's always next time. :) We took Highway 101 up to the North Bay, and then took 12/121 to Silverado Trail through Napa and into Calistoga. On the return trip, we took Highway 29 instead of Silverado Trail, and then followed Highway 680 down through the east bay.
