Off road in Alameda

My pops picked up an ATV a year ago for fun, camping and duck hunting trips. This past weekend we got a chance to take some gear up to Carnegie SVRA just outside of Livermore to do some runs.

The day was nice, about 70s, got out there early and I got a chance to hit several runs over the mud pits, lots of rock gardens and boulder fields, berms, whoops, and tons of steep hills and drop offs. I’ve got no skills for heel clickers or anything else at this point but it was good fun for the afternoon and I’ll definitely be headed back next time I’m out.

Slogging through Sonoma

This past weekend, I was afforded some time off wrapped around the weekend; unfortunately not for a relaxing weekend in the Bahamas or to go boarding in Tahoe. It was still work. My fiance and I went out to California to scour Napa for the perfect spot to have our wedding. Loaded up with redbull and shrimp chips we braved sideways winds and rains to view 14 potential sites. Several were perfect but had lingering bad characteristics like being REALLY far away from any hotel, town or sustainable life form. The net of this trip was no wine tasting but more ideas and hopefully we’re closer to an end result plan….
