A Rookie Rides to Mendocino (County)

In a direct effort to combat cabin fever, I took off on a four day bike tour of Central California. Left home in Sacramento on Monday and arrived in Ukiah on Thursday. 185 miles. 22,000 vertical feet up and down (lots of up and down).





Day 1 took me about 45 miles from the morning traffic of Sacramento through the orchards of Davis and Winters to a stealth campsite at the top of Putah Creek near Lake Berryessa.



Spring is now in the Central Valley.

Pumpkin Ravioli

We had an autumn urge for pumpkin ravioli. Kristen and Val spent most of a perfectly fine Sunday creating a batch.

Dough.


Filling (Some pumpkin, some chard).



Combine. Cook. Eat.



Nap. (Yolo County pigs, actually.)
