Would anyone be intereted in riding to Haak Winery from my house (about 21 miles), taking a tour, doing some wine tasting and then riding back (or having Dan drive us back if too much wine is consumed) and maybe grilling out on Saturday June 20th (day after my 28th birthday)?? It is a nice ride on roads with big shoulders from my house to there. You don't have to be 21 to take a tour.

I'd be there, and of course a celebration has to be in the works. I've been to the winery before, and it's a good time.

Alright, I say this is a go. So far we have Jillian, Courtney, Nando, Marcela and I. Anyone else? Remember you don't have to do any wine tasting. I toured many wineries before I ever started drinking. I find it interesting and usually wineries are fairly pretty.

If we want to be at the winery for the first tour (11:00am) we probably need to LEAVE my house by 9:30am (so be there by 9:00am) on June 20th, 2009. (If we can't average 13.3mph there, we have bigger problems). Dan will drive down there and meet us so we can leave shoes in his car. Also that way if you end up buying any wine he can bring it home for you. Tours last 45 minutes and are free. We can also taste up to 4 wines for free. I am suggesting the earliest tour because it will only keep getting hotter later in the day. If you don't know where I live feel from to send me a message and I will give you my address and general directions.

Is it 21 miles total?
Kris,
Taylor and I might join you for your bday ride. Though, Taylor would be on a mtb so if it's 21 total, we're more like likely to do it.

It is 21 down there an 21 back, but if Taylor just wants to ride down there with us we can have Dan bring him back in the car. I would love for you two to join us. Especially since I haven't seen you in FOREVER!!
