Paso GranFUNdo, Part III

WHOA. I need to recollect my thoughts and reconsider how I should write about this California adventure. I am overwhelmed from the entire experience.

Great people, great rides, wine tastings, late afternoon presentations, incredible dinners, and grappa nightcaps. It was, in its own unique Californian way, an opposite-side-of-the-planet "Ben Vivere" (the Good Life) which was chronicled by Buzz Yancich in 2009:

Part II
Part III
Part IV

The 2010 Paso GranFUNdo is finished. I am already looking forward to next year's.

Over the next few days I'll organize photos and stories.
