[RBW] Re: Painted Appaloosa - Almost Like a New Bike Day!

2020-06-11 Thread Litho
I've been loving the Vine Trail for my less adventurous rides. The loop up 
to Yountville and around Yount Mill road has been my standard ride for the 
past few months.  Having ridden in the valley for decades, I can say that I 
absolutely hate riding on the roads, particularly with all of the tourists 
out wine tasting.  Too many accidents.  Too many close calls.  A path the 
length of the valley has been needed for a LONG time.

Great bike on a perfect section of road - Yount Mill Rd is my favorite spot 
out there, just wish the Vine Trail connection going north from there would 
get started soon. One day we'll be able to ride the Bay Trail / Vine Trail 
from the ferry in Vallejo up to Calistoga, 47 miles of rolling road, I 
can't wait!

I've always thought that, when done right, orange is an excellent bicycle 
color.  Your Appaloosa is one of the best looking orange bikes I've seen.

Congrats!

I have NEVER wanted an orange bike. I do now! That is one beautiful bike in
the Napa sunshine!
