California Bike Tours — Spring
Spring is a wonderful time of year to be cycling in California. The Winter rains have turned the golden hills green again, while abundant wildflowers put on their colorful spectacle. The weather is comfortable but not too warm, allowing us to venture into areas that are too hot for cycling in Summer. The bare vines of the Wine Country begin to sprout their broad leaves, the oaks try out their new foliage, and the cyclists test their legs on the ribbons of roadway.
