Trek Travel Day One
Met up with the Trek Travel gang in Santa Barbara yesterday. Great group. The guides, Mark and John are superb hosts, knowledgeable, personable and with tons of cycling experience. We packed all the gear in SB and headed out for Santa Ynez with a stop at the Demetria Winery Estates http://www.demetriaestate.com/along the way. After a sample of their wines and a lunch on the veranda where one can easily lose GPS bearings and think this is Tuscany, we rode the 17 miles to the base camp at the Santa Ynez Inn and regrouped for a meet & greet followed by dinner.
Today is the first RCV shoot and we'll crank out 66 through Solvang, Ballard Canyon and then tackle 'The Fig", the most notorious climb in SB Co. There are seven folks in the group, with one a CompuTrainer user. I suppose those are pretty standard numbers, providing me with both an opportunity to film some testimonials and promote the product. Today should be fun, despite the open road conditions and small group. Took a scouting run this morning at sunrise and think this will prove to be a terrific long term opportunity for both CT RCV and Trek.
Gotta get set up. More after the ride tonight. GREAT video on the way.

Sweet!!!
Wait till you see today's ride, AKA "The Fig" (Mt. Figuroa). I am back at hotel charging batts and reloading while the gang snacks in Los Olivos (see Sideways for Hollywood's spin). More tonight. Sweet indeed!
