Day 7: Final Ride
Today's ride is our big climbing day with 1400' over about 14 mi. The ride is 28 mi. but all the climbing is front loaded. It includes a 20% grade-think Eastman Hill in Lebanon. The description of the ride unfortunately scared Molly off, and she decided to sit this one out (after doing the ride, wise decision on her part).
Before we set out, we had a big breakfast that we shared with the birds.

Top of the world. Had to do a little hike-a-bike, but overall we did admirably.
After the climb, we were treated to a visit to a family winery for a tour and lunch with wine tasting. We elected to skip most of the wine since I was the designated driver ( and neither of us are big wine drinkers anyway.
The winery was in the family for generations and their specialty was a liqueur type wine made from dried out grapes, ie. raisins.
