--POSTPONED TO MARCH--

Elevation gain: about 2,000 feet.

Map, cue sheet, and GPS track can be found here.

We're in for another sunny Sunday with the winter rains at bay. So we're heading up Veeder Road. We'll start at Buttercream Bakery in Napa. Buttercream closes at 2 PM so there won't be time to grab something sweet and tasty after the ride. So make sure you arrive *early* to get some java and either breakfast or delicious pastries (or both). You can even buy an extra to stash in your car (or handlebar bag) for energy later on! But I digress...

This is a simple ride: head up Veeder to the top and then down to Dry Creek with a short climb up to the top of Oakville Grade followed by a hellacious descent to Oakville. This descent is 15+% so be careful and make sure your brakes are in working order. We'll roll into Yountville and grab a bite at Velo Deli and then it's a flat ride back to Buttercream.

Bring a snack and water.
Rain cancels (but there isn't going to be any).

Meet at 9:30 AM.
Ride out at 10 AM.
