This is our classic Wheatland loop from Rocklin -- out through Roseville and the ag fields, then through Wheatland (coffee/restroom stop) and back via Camp Far West and Lincoln. Burn some of those Thanksgiving calories and stay far away from the mall!
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 ~31 miles to the rest stop, with no water or restrooms before that.
