Due to a truck crashing into Lenise's Cafe patio, I have made a change to where this ride stops for coffee. Lenise's Cafe is still open, but the patio space is more limited. So I thought this was a good opportunity to try a new place called Emile's Cafe which is in Heritage Oaks Park not far from Village Parkway. You can still go to Lenise's if you prefer since the routes are basically the same and we go right by Lenise's. All routes will be taking the new Del Rio bike trail down to Freeport Bridge. After crossing the bridge, the short road route turns right and the long road and gravel routes turn left. Unlike before, there is only one gravel route with gravel sections on Pumphouse Rd. and the levee along the Sacramento River. The gravel section along the deep water channel has been eliminated because it's not as convenient to do that after stopping at Emile's. Therefore, all the routes are the same after stopping at Emile's Cafe and we get back on Village Parkway which turns into South River Rd. After crossing the Tower Bridge and we take the Promenade Bike Trail down to Miller Park and then the Sacramento River Parkway Trail down to the new Del Rio Trail bridge where we take the Del Rio Trail down to 35th Ave. I will sweep the gravel route, unless no one else is doing. If you plan to do one of the other routes I recommend that you ride find someone to ride with. Here are the RWGPS links:
