Friday Coffee Ride - El Dorado
Details
Join us for a fun ride from the foothill town of El Dorado to Apple Hills/Camino to enjoy coffee, pies, and other goodies at the Drew Bean Farm.
The ride primarily follows the El Dorado Trail, a former railway that has been converted into a bike path under the National Rails-to-Trails program. The incline is relatively mild, not exceeding 5%, but when we exit the trail in Camino, there are a couple of steep but short climbs. There is also a short gap on the trail, forcing us to ride through downtown Placerville for approximately a mile.
Please note that this is a joint ride with the Bike Hikers.
