St. Helena, Calistoga

Today we did a little loop a bit further north.  Started in St. Helena, rode up to Calistoga which starts to feel a bit less wine country (the town anyway) and a bit more rustic/functional rather than just cute and touristy. Headed west on Petrified Forest road, which is busy, then back south on St. Helena Mountain road which is beautiful through a forest, with weird little hillbilly houses in the valley, and vineyards on top.  Bigger climb than we expected, and I'm officially down to only a front brake - need to find a set of pads or just ride flatter stuff till we're home.  Big driving day today up to Oregon to rest our legs.
