Hosts - Anne and Dave Sitter
We met at 9:00 am at Philz Coffee in the Corte Madera Town
Center. We had 32 cars.
It was a smoky day due to the fires in Paradise, but we decided to
forge ahead. After leaving Philz we headed back south down 101 to Highway
1 through Mill Valley. We took some side streets through Mill Valley
neighborhoods onto Panoramic Highway. The views were beautiful but not as
good as they would have been without the smoke. We arrived on highway 1
in Stinson Beach and headed north on highway1. We were in two groups but
managed to catch up and become one large group once on Highway 1.
We followed highway 1 through to Point Reyes Station where we made
an impromptu stop at Point Reyes Vineyards. We were able to taste a few
sparkling wines and purchase if we wanted to. The proprietor opened early
for us and allowed us to use both his restrooms to get everyone
accommodated.
We headed back north onto highway 1 through Tomales Bay and the
small town of Tomales up to Bodega Bay where we stopped at The Tides for
lunch. We were there for about 2 hours when the run officially
ended. After the run Simon led the group who elected to go on a drive
around Bodega Bay for some photo opportunities. After that he led the
remaining group who elected to go to a wine tour and tasting at Fort Ross
Vineyards about 30 minutes north of Bodega Bay.
