  Our Sunday ride will start and finish at our Bothe-Napa Valley State Park group campsite. We’ll ride to and through lovely Calistoga, then explore the hills west of the town. On our return we’ll stop for lunch in Calistoga, about six miles from the finish. The D riders will add a challenging eight mile climbing extension up Ida Clayton Road. We will have separate B, C, and C+/D riding groups as needed. We reserved our group campsite for Sunday night so we can stay as long as we want on Sunday afternoon. Campers will be able to break down their tents and pack after finishing the ride (or stay overnight Sunday). Online route sheets/maps/gps.

  See Saturday NAPA VALLEY WEEKEND ride listing for logistics/registration information.
