The alarm went off at 6:00. I could hear the rain so turned over and stayed in bed. By 9:00 the rain had stopped but low dark clouds were seen in all directions. We left Calistiga at 9:15 wearing full Gortex rain gear, including shoe covers.
There were hundreds to cyclists on Silverodo Trail, most raising money fo diabetes. We're never seen so many people fixing flats as we did today, including 8 from our own group.
We detoured toward Bouchon Bakery in Yountville and immediately ran into rain. It was short lived as the sun appeared as we rode into town. The line at the bakery was long but worth the wait; a chocolate-almond croissant with my cappuccino. The clouds got brighter and we shed the rain gear. By evening the weather was near perfect and a half-dozen of us bought food for dinner at Whole Foods and ate outdoors at the hotel pool area.
