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:

Relive 2nd Day CVW 1 Jul 22


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
