Riding in the Santa Ynez Valley is....

...watching startled calves running alongside the road...

...avoiding the tarantula crossing in front of you...

...dreaming to be the red tailing hawk hunting and surfing the Santa Ana winds...

...thanking the field hands working on sunday, all covered up to beat the wind and the sun...

...letting the guy with the tri bike pass you, only to catch him at the next hill and leave him panting behind...

...laughing at the tourists driving hummers stuck in Solvang traffic....

....chilly in the morning, hot at noon, windy always...

...surprising: after climbing Harris Grade, even Lompoc does not look half bad from above, and far away...

...certainty that whatever the event or your dietary needs, there will be a tri-tip BBQ at the end...

...just awesome. You should try it sometimes!
