Description
What better way to preceed a three and a half our road ride with an excellent, exquisite, phenomenal pre-ride meal?
I got real lucky and a lunch spot at The French Laundry with just one week notice. Three Michelin stars – and the food, service, the whole experience were indeed truly exceptional. Bring a hefty wallet though, culinary exctasy like this doesn’t come cheap.
The post-lunch ride through beautiful wine country featured a respectable climb onto Atlas Peak road. Steep and bumpy at places. Great views along the way.
