Clear Lake to Ukiah - Day Four

Day Four took me from Clear Lake State Park, through the great little town of Finley, over the Hopland Grade to Old Hopland, then up the Old River Road through countless vineyards into Ukiah.

Looking back down at the Hopland Grade. Luckily there weren't too many of those big trucks...not much of a shoulder on this uphill.



At this point all the big climbs are behind me and it is mostly all downhill to the end of the ride in Ukiah.

First Days of 2009. Big Sur.

Mount Vaca.

Something worth seeing between San Francisco and Sacramento--the view from Mount Vaca. Nearly the entire northern Sierra Nevada is visible from up here--from Mt Lassen to Yosemite. Plus Cache Creek, the Napa area, Mt Tamalpais, much of the Bay Area, Mt Diablo, the delta and the majority of the Central Valley. A great, great view, especially if you know what you're looking at.
