Triumph RRR on Highway 1

If there is a single machine in Triumph’s range that defines its identity, the Speed Triple is it. The Speed Triple was also one of the original production streetfighters, at the edge of the trend of stripping faired sportbikes down to their elemental core.

Ride Nor Cal's Josh Poe explains the finer points of Triumph's RRR which is available for rent at Ride Nor Cal, located in Santa Rosa, California. 

The Speed-T’s chassis—supported by supple and beautifully controlled Öhlins suspension at each end (NIX30 fork and TTX36 shock), awesome ABS-assisted Brembo brakes, and Pirelli Super­corsa SP rubber—delivers sublime handling and stopping power and makes the bike just as at home on a racetrack as on the street.

"The first Street Triple was an instant hit, an overnight classic. It was Triumph's best-selling bike over the past 5 years. While the Street Triple has lost a touch of that lofty magic, it is, undoubtedly, easier to hustle on twisty roads."

Benovia Knows Pinot

Mike Sullivan has lived in Sonoma County all of his life. He attended Fresno State, earning a degree in fermentation science. He has worked for several wineries in his 18 years in the wine business, most recently, Hartford Court.

At Hartford, he won many awards including being named “Wine Personality of the Year” by Robert Parker and “Winemaker of the Year” by Ronn Wiegand of the magazine Restaurant Wine. Mike won the sweepstakes award for both his Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. He is the only winemaker ever to win the sweepstakes award for both a red and white wine. Robert Parker has said of Mike, “I’m a big fan of winemaker Mike Sullivan as he seems to have the brilliant ability to convert Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel into wines of considerable character and individuality.”

Mike focuses on three important aspects of winemaking. First, he is very attentive to the terrior of each vineyard. He walks the vineyards on a weekly basis to understand all aspects of each vineyard's life cycle. He uses this knowledge to intensively farm each vineyard and produce the highest quality grape possible. Once these grapes are harvested he exercises extraordinary care in the winemaking process to allow the grapes to transform into the finest possible expression of wine.

Mike is married with two boys, a weimaraner and several cats. When not in the cellar, the vineyards or at home, Mike can be found on one of Sonoma County's many beautiful golf courses.

HANNAH - From Below, live at Jenner By the Sea

Echoing the sounds of the Nordic coast and urban dance halls, cinematic sonic bass producer/violinist HANNAH blends folk songs and improvised instrumental/vocal music with cutting edge electronic sounds, counting Massive Attack, Phaeleh, Trentemøller, and Ólafur Arnalds as influences in crafting her sound. The resulting sonic palate takes listeners on “a kind of mystical journey” (PopMatters), whose destination is a crossroads between classical and contemporary, organic and man-made, familiar and mysterious.

HANNAH is also deep in the yoga/music scene, and performs her original orchestral and intuitive scores at numerous yoga festivals and studios around the world, including US and Canadian Wanderlust Festivals, collaborating with lauded teachers Elena Brower, Seane Corn, Eoin Finn, Shiva Rea, Schuyler Grant, Aarona Pichinson, and many others.

She plays both an acoustic and a five-string electric violin, accompanied by her original electronic scores. HANNAH’s sound and performances meld and blur genres in relentlessly inventive ways, creating a riveting sonic experience that is undeniable in its sincerity and refreshing in its originality.

“Luminous frequencies and violin instrumentation tied with foreign Icelandic lyrical messages are found in her voice...” (AfroMonk) "It has the ability to seep into your soul in ways only orchestral and electronic music can.” (Infectious Magazine)



Featured here in the Sonoma County Wire, HANNAH performs, From Below, and is recorded live at, Jenner by The Sea, in Jenner, California. For more information visit, www.hannahthiem.com

Jenner By The Sea - Eat Rest Love

Jenner by the Sea Inn and Eatery is located on Highway 1 along the Northern California Coast just 90 minutes from the San Francisco Bay Area. The Eatery is now open serving local fresh organic meals and breakfast all day. Jenner by the Sea Inn consists of 21 sun filled River, Ocean and Mountain view rooms. The property is 2 acres of open lush grounds and event rooms.

California Pacific Coast Highway 1 leads you to stretches of unspoiled pristine sands, fascinating tide pools, playful seals, and miles of Bodega Bay hiking trails along the bluffs of the Northern California coastline with all its 15 sandy beaches 20,000 acres of open space land for hiking biking and kayaking. Walk, kayak, or canoe along the Russian River with frolicking seals and hundreds of different birds, take an exhilarating hot air balloon ride, or horseback ride through the majestic hidden grove of giant Redwoods in the beautiful Armstrong State Redwood Reserve. Bodega Head and Jenner are great places to watch the whales during the fall in the spring.

For three decades the Jenner Inn has enjoyed a reputation as an outstanding destination for romantic getaways, honeymoons and weddings, located on the magnificent Sonoma Coast within minutes of America's premier wine country. After 35 years, Jenner Inn is under new ownership! Rooms are being updated and the bar & restaurant are being reborn!

In 1948 the original hotel with its general store, post office (and pool hall) was destroyed by fire. It was replaced by a one-of-a-kind redwood structure with galleon windows, wheel beamed ceilings and solid oak floors, built by Swedish boat builders. It was and still is a favorite stop for abalone divers fishing the rich rocky waters just north of Jenner.

There are two natural vortices of spiritual energy in Jenner. One is a tremendous power produced by the confluence of two great bodies of water, the Russian River and the Pacific Ocean. The other is a hidden place in the Inn's Meadow, where the high hills of the Jenner Gulch converge. Spring-fed Jenner Creek tumbles over huge boulders as it bursts out of the hills, and a meditation bench is perched on a high creek bank above the cascading waters.

Activities abound to fulfill your memorable Coastal getaway. Sonoma Wine Country is home to world-class wines from the Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys; many delicious wineries are waiting to be discovered by you. Hikes, Bikes, Swims, Dancing, Meditating and more are here: http://www.jennerinn.com/
