I Sweat Salt: California Lovin'

I got to head home to see the family over the 4th of July weekend. There's nothing better than getting out of 100+ degree sweltering heat and landing in a perfect 80 and sunny. My sister and BIL, Zeb, recently bought an adorable house and I finally got to see it. This was such a great trip because I just got to hang out with the family, do a little training, and relax. My trip in pictures.

Riding with my Sisi, starting the trip off right!

Top of Wheeler Canyon.

I swear this is the only flat road in Southern California.

The farm roads were a nice change to the normal desert views.

Oooh, love visiting my parents house. This is only the backyard fridge.

Their new favorite hobby. My Dad & BIL.


The ladies of the family, minus Addy.

Ventura has a place called The Cave. It's a really cool wine bar and I like going there when I visit. You can taste different wines in either 1,3, or 5 ounces for varying amounts, out of this cool dispenser thing. There's a dispenser for reds, whites, and bubbly/dessert wines. You just load up a gift card with a fixed amount and then you use the card to taste. They also have a marketplace area to buy wine and they serve yummy food as well. Maybe I need to open one of these in Arizona; it's always packed when I go in Cali.

Genius wine tasting idea.

Got to meet up with my friend Terri when I was home as well.

Sisi and I went running...up close and personal.

I ran up Wheeler Canyon too! Fun times.

I was about one mile from my sister's house when I flatted. Yes, my Daddy came and picked me up. Well, he picked the bike up and handed me running shoes to get home.
