For CVW 3, this CVW was a little different, Vickie’s usual partners for carousing about, hiking, walking, ciclying, for the last +30 yrs, Vickie, Cindy, Elaine, Sandra and me, we did the first day of the CVW, 14 milrs in Napa, Ca !!
Here we are in Napa, Ca, the day before at some store!!

Day 1:
The next day, 30 Jun 2022, off we went on CVW 3 !! I kinda of cheated, told you was a little different, protecting my knees since I bike about 120 mi a week, and walk / hike about 10 to 14 mi a week, and knees kind of don’t like such much activity, pain; so I bought an e-kick scooter, and used it for the 1st day of the this CVW.
I must be getting old because I still dont have a photo of me riding the e-scooter, somehow have forgotten to get someone to take a photo or video of me riding the e-scooter !!
This is a recording created by an app, called Relive, that takes Workouts (bike, Walks, & …) recorded by Apple Watch and makes a video recording of the route, with photos taken at various locations, cool I think:

After 14 miles we were done with Day 1 !!
Day 2:
Then Vickie and I did day two, 1 Jul 22, just the two of us !! We did the walk in two parts 14.5 miles over the Golden Gate Bridge to the San Francisco train station, then we walked 2.5 mi from the train station in Mountain View to Vickies Home, only 17 miles !!

Day 3 & 4:
Before the start of day 3, Vickie’s family and me, we had breakfast at Alice’s Restaurant up on Skyline, near the start of Day 3 walk / hike !!
I said this CVW was different, for day 3 & 4, Scott, wanted to join in the celebration, so the two of then did the walk / hikes, so that Vickie completed the Great CVW of 2022, 60 miles in 4 consecutive days !!
Both day 3 and 4 starts where up on the mountains, at two different locations, so it was cool up there, and they walked home, about 5 hrs each day !!
Guess What !! …. and Fun Was Had By All
