7:15am Meetup / 7:30am Sharp Rollout

This will be a medium-paced ride from Rocklin to Wheatland via Westpark and the ag fields West of Roseville. We will go through Westpark to bypass the construction part of Baseline (the rest westbound has a good shoulder). We will then continue North to Forty Mile Rd, going past Toyota Amp and Hard Rock before coming back down into Wheatland (rest stop at coffee or gas station) and return via Camp Far West.

Given how flat the first half is, expect a faster pace in the first part and some pacelining on the rural roads. We will make an 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. Note that it's ~45 miles to the rest stop, with no water or restrooms before that.

Please RSVP! If no one RSVPs, I may bypass the start and ride solo.
