2006 Wine Country Cycling Trip

Report and Album For Download

I created this page to share information about our tandem bicycling trip through the California Wine country. On April 23, 2006, we drove from Klamath Falls, OR to Sonoma Valley. We did this tour with Zephyr Adventures Allan Wright does a very nice job, and I would recommend that you consider his tours if you like to mix riding with nice lodging and dining! Read some additional comments about the trip here

We enjoyed four nights of great lodging and dining. On the way back we went up the coast and stayed a night in Eureka. We've had the never ending winter this season and cabin fever was high. While Heidi and I aren't the greatest wine connoisseurs, we enjoyed the riding and warmer weather. Actually I think we bought more shirts and olive oil than wine!

• Printing Photos
  • I posted a link here today, 5/3/2006, to allow online printing. The link will be active for 4-6 weeks. I'm not charging you to use my pictures, but you will need to pay for the photo processing of any photos you order. You are allowed to print photos for personal use only.
  • Occasionally the service does not update the small thumbnails for viewing online. If this happens, select any photo by double clicking and then use the arrow to load each picture individually.
  • Sometimes I'm asked to email my photos for home printing. I won't do this for a number of reasons. If you do a lot of home printing, you should know that photos last longer and are cheaper to print using a professional service. Leo's Camera store in Klamath Falls does excellent work and they are very good to work with. When you use the online service, you have an option to have the photos printed locally for same day pickup. You can also have them mailed to your home, so the process is very convenient.
    • If you want more information about why home printing isn't a great idea, recently the NY Times published the article: Why Do-It-Yourself Photo Printing Doesn't Add Up. Click here to read the full text.
