American River Bike Trail Towards Granite Bay

UPDATE

Access to the American River Bike Trail has reopened at Beal's Point, so let's try one of our old routes! It is somewhat different then our regular routes. This is an out and back 8.5 mile ride on the trail bordering Folsom Lake. It is moderately challenging due to a couple of short steep hills on the dirt trail. It will be slow paced. The trail is paved from the Folsom Sector Office up through Beal's Point, which shortly after becomes a packed gravel road. Once the gravel road ends (at about 2.5 miles), it becomes packed dirt. This part of the trail involves several up and down sections (a couple are steep with ruts). The trail ends at a parking lot in the Folsom Lake Recreation Area at Granite Bay, where restrooms and water are available. We will take a short break here before returning. Gravel bikes or mountain bikes are recommended. We will wait 5 mins before starting.

Lets meet in the free parking lot at:
Folsom Sector Office
7755 Folsom Auburn Rd
Folsom, CA 95630
38.70890, -121.170543

Bring water and a helmet
