100+ miles.
Some more enjoyable than others.
South of Sacramento along the Delta.
Starting off the day with a big apple fritter, after breakfast paella, may not have been the best idea.
 |
| Meeting up at Old Soul, the normal coffee meetup spot, before hitting the road. |
 |
| Shorts and a light jacket (t-shirts later on) isn't too bad for late January riding conditions. |
 |
| Arrived at Brannan Island and set up camp. Don chops up some of the wood bundles we picked up about 10 miles back. |
 |
| Let the Paella begin. Meat first... |
 |
| Remove meat, add onions and spices along with a can of fire roasted tomatoes and rice. |
 |
| White wine and chicken broth added. |
 |
| Add the meat back to the top and top with shrimp. |
 |
| Finish up over the fire to get the soccrant on the bottom of the pan. |
 |
| Add bacon and egg to the leftovers. Breakfast is served. |
 |
| Rolling through Rio Vista for second breakfast. Two coffees and two big apple fritters for less than $5. |
 |
| Ferry closed. Looks like we need to backtrack a bit to ride up the other side of the river. |
 |
| Endless vineyards and nut farms along most of the route back. |
 |
| Time to take off a layer. Notice the sailboat peeking up from behind the levee. |
 |
| Getting chased by nasty looking dogs while admiring the herd. Mount Diablo seen through the fog in the background. |
 |
| Made it to the other ferry crossing. 30 more miles of riding back to Sacramento. |
Hey Bill!
ReplyDeleteWow Man! You are quite the gourmet.
No ramen for you boys!
What a nifty little tour.
Good post.

Thanks Geno! If you want to see some really good camp cooking come by Old Soul next to Edible Pedal by 8 AM for the Sunday Morning Breakfast Club. I started a group that rides out about 10-15 miles to different destination to cook up a breakfast feast. We do this 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month and normally get around 15-20 bikes to show up! Hope to see you around.
