Solvang Ladies Weekend |

March 2011 |

Join us for a fun filled long weekend adventure in wine country. Working in partnership with Lotus of Light, Luke has custom built a women's cycling retreat in Solvang. Our weekend starts Friday afternoon as we meet at our luxury house and get to know each other over bike fitting and an easy spin around the block. We can't dally long because we have to fit in our cocktail hour before dinner. Working with our favorite local restaurants, Luke's is able to provide a meal you won't soon forget. Saturday morning it's Abelskievers for breakfast. This traditional Danish treat is just the energy we need for our trek today. Solvang offers some of the best riding in California. With smooth roads and little or no traffic, this is the place where that guy "Lance" trains. Don't worry about getting lost or losing steam....this ride is fully supported. Every Luke Manohan tour has an expert cyclist to lead the way and a SAG vehicle to sweep the road. (We also like to enlist the SAG wagon to carry the wine we acquire at the wineries!) By mid afternoon, we're back at the hotel to unwind, soak in the hot tub or maybe get a luxurious massage by our own massage therapist, Karen Duffy. Tonight, it's all about the dinner.... Around 7, we find ourselves around one of the tables of "The Vineyard House." Owner Jim Sobell has designed a custom menu just for us that will be sure to delight. As an avid cyclist himself, Jim has raised over $100,000 for the Lance Armstrong foundation. He's got some great stories.... After our delightful repast, it's back to the home base for the best night's sleep ever. Of course sleeping in is the rule today. Late morning we'll assemble for brunch, share some stories and laughs and discover that we've made some friends. I hope Solvang becomes your new favorite secret getaway.....
