6:20am Meetup / 6:30am Sharp Rollout

This will be a medium-paced climbing-focused ride from Rocklin to Colfax. We will parallel the freeway up through Auburn and Weimar. There will be a 15-20 minute rest stop at the Starbucks in Colfax for coffee and snacks. We will then descend back down via Placer Hills Rd. There will be multiple regroup points and a few water stops (as needed). There isn't any single killer climb, it's just a gradual uphill most of the way. Due to the forecasted heat, this will be a prompt, early start.

I will not be hammering this and there will be a general effort to stay together; but if you are substantially below stated pace, there is not a sweep. There will be regroups and I will stop for mechanicals. Please print your own route sheet or load the route on your device.
