NorCal CF/Winery Tour Day #1

We departed Oceanside yesterday morning just before 6am. Was hoping to get on the road between 0500-0530, but par for the course we were running a bit behind. Didn't help that we didn't get to bed until after 11pm on Wednesday night, again, par for the course. Thursday was mostly uneventful, 11 hours on the road including breaks and lunch. Got into Chico right around 5pm.

After we got settled into our hotel we went over to NorCal CrossFit to say hello to Robb Wolf and his crew. That's the whole reason we came to Chico. We got a tour of the new facility that they are moving into. It's an amazing space and their custom pull-up bars are spectacular. Will definitely get a picture of those posted. We were too pooped from the drive for a workout, so we headed over to the Sierra Nevada Brewery for dinner. Didn't exactly stay in the Zone, but did pretty well considering. We both left huge piles of garlic mashed potatoes on our plates, but their fresh baked bread is worth the small cheat.

Itinerary for the rest of the trip:
2 days here in Chico
2 days in the Sonoma Valley for winery tours
1 day in San Francisco (San Francisco CrossFit and then Lalanne Fitness)
3 days in Solvang for more wine and a spa day

Should be a great trip. Hoping to learn a lot, get some good workouts in and enjoy some fine California wine.

More to follow.
