Sacramento to Healdsburg

Bike touring! What a way to spend my first month just after retirement. The purpose of our travels was simple; biking, hiking, birding, sightseeing and just having fun. Just the kind of activity we all enjoy doing. Geno, a friend and cycling partner for more 9 years, dubbed this tour “Herb’s Freedom Ride” in recognition of my freedom from the bonds of work and to introduce me to retirement. Having a bike tour planned immediate after my retirement was great timing since I wouldn’t have much time to dwell on or miss the daily routine and friends I left behind.
