Dixie is a little further down the coast, directly south of Stanford - when I rode Monday I could see that big... radar... dish? thing?<br /><br />There are some quite close rides and some that are a little further away. Hoping for Hat Creek to be my next ride - it's 300 miles instead of 135, so it's further but not too bad. And of course I'm much closer to the coastal redwoods rides!<br /><br />Come visit me someday, and we'll day trip to Tahoe :)Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-34171691733051270802012-05-24T09:08:57.496-07:002012-05-24T09:08:57.496-07:00She is DELIGHTED.

(huh, i say "down" as if i'm still "up".)<br /><br />i cannot wait to see your new house. i hope you don't have to go too terribly far to get to endurance rides in comparison to nevada.<br /><br />then again...i may never see lake tahoe...lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-32764557922458813672012-05-23T20:20:52.677-07:002012-05-23T20:20:52.677-07:00Yay!

I've got to tell you--knowing that route and having driven it myself--I was stressing over your trip, even at second hand (well, I guess I did tell you). But it sounds like you got through it just fine and for sure I would have been shaking, too. Its no wonder you got sick. That's a lot of stress. I hope you can take it easy for awhile. And yeah, I thought I was having a deja vu when I saw the blue carpet.
