There's a reason the U.S. Postal Team held it's Spring Training Camps here. With
over 300 days of sunny weather, the southern California wine country made famous in
the movie "Sideways" is an ideal place to put some miles on those winter legs. Our home base for the week is Solvang, a small Danish Village in the heart of the Santa Ynez Wine Region. You'll enjoy exploring the shops and delight in sampling the local wineries after each day's ride.
