Great day for the 2025 Umpqua Velo Vineyard Tour. Later start to avoid potentially cold morning conditions. Areas of low clouds to start, but those went away fairly quickly. However, gusty north wind the entire ride. Started from Triple Oak Winery in Oakland. The first 14 miles was a loop to the southwest, crossing Highway 138 and coming back into Oakland. The next 13 miles, to the first official rest stop at Plat I Reservoir, included a couple short, steep hills and crosswind on Nonpariel Rd. Gusts 15-20 mph at the rest stop. The next section included a 9.5 mile stretch on Driver Valley Rd, including a short steep hill just after passing Fair Oaks Church. Crosswind turned to more of a tailwind after about 5 miles. Then it was onto Elkhead Rd and headwind. Gradual climb past the historic schoolhouse, then a harder climb past Mildred Kanipe Park. The park was used as a rest stop on previous tours, but not this year. The next official stop was the winery just before turning onto Goodrich Highway (mile 50). Another steep climb on Elkhead Rd to the Hogan Rd turn-off. Finally some downhill AND tailwind on Goodrich Highway, past the I-5 rest area. One last climb on Metz Hill Rd to the Green Valley Rd turn. Continued tailwind on Green Valley Rd to the final turn at Stearns Lane. Stopped at the Rochester Covered Bridge for photos. The last 3.5 miles was crosswind/headwind back into Oakland.
