PRISTINE RIDING WITH REMARKABLE FOOD & WINE.

“There are some places so beautiful they can make a grown man break down and weep.” 
― Edward Abbey, The Monkey Wrench Gang

Welcome to our Northern California backyard. The Bay Area’s playground widely paraded and purveyed. Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Russian River, Mendocino - all diamonds in the rough for both cycling and wine. This RAID takes us from our enchanting front door through Sonoma County to the outer reaches of Mendocino County. We venture out along raging rivers & rugged coasts, winding stretches of tarmac through dense redwood forests and along steep and winding sun-drenched ridge tops.
