Lake Berryessa Ride - GSA Versus KLR - July 30, 2016

I usually ride alone, but today I went for a ride with my friend Mike up to Lake Berryessa.  He on his KLR and me on my GSA.

Lake Berryessa is the largest lake in Napa County. The reservoir was named for the first European settlers in the Berryessa Valley, José Jesús and Sexto "Sisto" Berrelleza (a Basque surname, Anglicized to "Berreyesa", then later respelled "Berryessa"), who were granted Rancho Las Putas in 1843.

We took Highway 80 up to Fairfield and next jumped on State Route 121 which took us to the intersection of State Route 121 and State Route 128. A fast nice twisty road. After visiting the lake we rode State Route 128 back to Highway 80 after stopping off for some lunch at Berryessa Brewing in Winters.

First , we stopped at the 121/128 junction at an abandoned restaurant to shed a layer since it was getting hot.  

Once at Lake Berryessa we stopped for a rest at the spot where our Boy Scout Troop camps each year at their annual Camporee outing.  

Finally, I had to get a picture of the bikes in front of the lake. Not much water in the lake even with all the rain we had this past winter.
