  Description:  Jan. 13 -15, 2026. Good Springs (aka Chablis Inn); phone# 707.257.1944.  Rates are $139++ for king and $159++ for two queens.  72 hour cancellation. 

  
  On Tuesday the 13th you may start from Sac (no sag unless you drop off the day before) or in Winters in the municipal parking lot in downtown.  There will be a sag there.  If you park your car in Winters, be sure to notify the local Police Dept. and give them your license plate number.  You can also start in Napa and ride back to meet the riders coming from winters.  The distance from Sac is about 85 miles and the distance from Winters is about 52.  The ride to Winters is flat.  The section between Winters and the Silverado Trail is hilly with several long climbs.  Once you arrive at the Silverado Trail, it returns to flat.  The middle day will be about 50 miles or shorter and it will be mostly flat unless you decide to do some optional climbing.  We will talk about the options at the social hour on Tuesday.  We will head back to Winters on the 15^th or you can ride locally and then drive home.
  

  Across the street from the Chablis Inn, there is a pizza restaurant, the Squeeze Inn, a Starbucks, and a grocery store.  They have a huge variety of wines and beers.   There are plenty of local restaurants if you want to explore.  We will provide soft drinks and munchies.  You are on your own tab for wine and beer.

  Please let Harold or Mary know that you are going and be sure they have a contact number or e-mail address for you.
