Speed: 15-16 mph average
Rider Level: Strong Beginner (for 43mi)
Sweep: No
Rest Stop: Bella Bru

7:45am in Rocklin or 9:00am in Folsom

Choose your own adventure! I will be starting in Rocklin at Kathy Lund Park for the longer 78 mile option (roll at 7:45am). We will ride down to Karen's Cafe in Folsom with the intention of picking up anyone who wants to join for the 43 mile option. If you meet us at Karen's, please be prepared to roll at 9am sharp! The 43 mi option is almost entirely on the American River Bike Trail (ARBT), totally flat and car-free.

This will be a flat, medium-paced ride down the ARBT to Guy West Bridge (Sac State). Then on the way back we will detour to Bella Bru on Arden for a short coffee/snack break. We will make an effort to stay together and keep things social, 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.

Plenty of free parking both at Kathy Lund park (West Oaks entrance) or Old Town Folsom parking garage.

Please RSVP! Also please comment about which option you will ride. If no one opts for Karen's start, I will not wait around.
