I’m planning on going self-supported bike camping for the first time the weekend of 9/11. I’ve had about 5 people say they might be interested, so probably at least a few of us will end up doing it.
The rough plan is to take the ferry from SF to Vallejo Saturday morning, go on a 40ish mile ride through Napa Valley (Napa / Yountville / St Helena / Calistoga) at a steady but non-racing, no-one-left-behind pace (we’ll be carrying all our gear), stop periodically for wine tasting, and then camp in Bothe-Napa State Park.
Sunday morning we could head straight back, or go hiking around the park, do more wine tasting, and/or go swimming.
Here’s a high-level route from google maps, just as an overview (I have an actual Napa Valley bike map I’ll look at in more detail).
More details to come, though probably not here– contact me directly if you’re interested and haven’t already told me.
