Sly Park - Jenkinson Lake and Trail 8... and more?

The 12th is supposed to be a heater here in the Folsom/ Granite Bay area, so let's get up the hill and away from the intense heat.
Starting later because, well, predicted high in Pollock Pines is only 81, and this gives everyone time to get stuff done in the morning before afternoon shenanigans.

Disclaimer: This is more for well-tuned e-mtb (figure 17-23 miles & 2500-3500 feet climbing overall), but analog welcome... just don't expect everyone to stop incessantly for catch up (sorry, but it really does hamper the fun for others if you have to wait and wait and wait, although this is not a speed-demon ride, per se).

We'll start with an easy ride around Jenkinson Lake (clockwise, starting on Mormom Emigrant Trail just outside the Waterfall Trailhead parking lot) before hitting Trail 8. For those looking for a bigger challenge, a group might break away to do the "fun stuff" (harder downhill trails w/ drops, jumps, steeps, etc that are NOT on Trailforks).
This is NOT a beginner ride (per se), but it's not hard either, unless you plan/ want to do the "fun stuff."

After the ride, there is live music starting at 5pm at Hwy 50 Brewery/ Nello Olivo Winery just off Hwy 50 in Camino (great views, good food, fun times), which is about 15 minutes back down from Sly Park.

Carpooling is always a good idea. Let's meet at the Starbucks off Prairie City in Folsom (Prairie City Crossing Shopping Center, 1950 Prairie City Rd) at 12:20 (leave at 12:20 so we get there around 1:15 and ready to be Wheels Up at 1:30).

If you drive yourself, meet just outside the paid parking lot (Waterfall Trailhead on Google maps) off Mormon Emigrant Trail (PC7R+FC, Somerset, CA 95684).
