Ah that Russian river brewing is pretty delish... I'm partial to Sonoma wineries, kinda rustic and I feel more art than the biggies in Napa. maybe I'm just more flip flops and shorts than skinny jeans and ironic t-shirts...
My uncle was head winemaker and head of operations at benziger for many years and now runs wine making for several boutique wineries in the Sonoma valley. they make some good stuff. just you can't get it. always pre-sold and dozen's / small hundreds of cases, not 1000's.
Picked this up earlier in the week for a fun little summer toy and will keep up north for a while. Will have to go hit some canyons ...

Speaking of rustic NorCal Wineries and Great Music . . .
If any of you guys are into Fleetwood Mac, there is a terrific cover band called Fleetwood Mask that will be playing at several small wineries in the next month.
They will be at Geyser Peak Winery in Healdsburg on 7/14 and Vezer Family Winery in Fairfield on 7/7 and Clos du Bois in Geyserville on 8/25
I will be heading up Route 160 (the Sacramento Delta "River Road") on 6/30 to see them play at Miner's Leap Winery in Clarksburg.
A great levee road to drive on and for $30 this band just cant be beat!

I’m a firm believer in negative IRR.
Doctors orders. I need more vitamin D. Figured this is a way to get some sun. I love to drive. So, kill 2 birds, one stone. Will write it off as a medical expense LOL

I like the way you think. Congrats Chris. Love Spyders.

nice. a 2nd place on the coast is on the list of things to do in the future.
something up that way would be nice, but a pretty healthy drive from South Bay.
but could stop at Russian River, Anderson Valley and a host of other breweries along the way.
definitely lots of nice driving roads up that way too.
haven't done all of "the loop", but did do "the lollipop" last time we were up that way.
think many people posting in this thread know this bridge.

What bridge? I don’t see a bridge.

And now that I’ve entered the bike conversation, a few specific power meter questions: when the dura ace powermeter came out, it got high reviews except for the left/right balance which seemed to be off. Does anyone know if the latest firmware update has fixed that? Can it be fixed with software or is it a hardware issue? And for the Garmin Vector 3, Garmin has finally admitted to the problem with the battery door and is sending out retrofits to existing customers. Presumably all new ones shipped will have the correct battery compartment - does that completely fix the problem of dropouts and power spikes? I am leaning towards one of these, which other than these singular issues they get great reviews, I like the design, so if these issues are resolved, I’m a buyer.

The Dogma K10s does have an endurance geo. Vs the Dogma F10, it has a taller and slacker top tube. Also, a little longer wheelbase due to different rake and slightly longer chain stays. And it can take 28mm tires. All of that, plus the suspension add to the comfort, while still being a stiff, fast bike. I have been riding Pinarello’s for several years, just ordered the K10s, can’t wait for it. Dura ace di2, will never go back.

BTW, that Aqua RS is completely worthless now, I'll happily trade you a spankin' new Camry for it

I'd go Civic Si but only with 150K miles or more.
