Fun ride up to Peet‘s at the Fountain‘s in Roseville Short https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26599614 Long https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26599545

This ride goes to the Pure Grain Bakery in downtown Vacaville and returns a different route to Winters for an optional refreshment at Hooby’s Brewing in Winters, ergo the name. Cantelow Rd is open again, so the long route will go in the usual clockwise direction (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41429096). The distance is about 44 miles with 2,000 ft climbing. The short route has not changed and goes around the English Hills in a clockwise direction staying on the lower rollers in the English Hills. It’s 36 miles with about 1000 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41429095). The two routes split at Steiger Hill and Cantelow Rds. The climbs up Cantelow Rd on the long route are up and back to the top from both sides, so you can just turn around if it becomes too difficult. Also, if you want you can do both climbs on Cantelow Rd before the rest stop by continuing on after climbing to the top and then turn around at Pleasant Valley Rd at the bottom.

Let’s cruise to El Dorado Hills for a treat at either Chateau Arme or Starbucks across the street. Long route climbs a few hills before returning. Long route will be swept. The only major hill on the short route will be climbing up Green Valley. Long: 38.9 mi, 1772 ft: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/20787960 Short: 33.1 mi, 1369 ft; https://ridewithgps.com/routes/20787963

It‘s Bagel time! I plan to sweep the short route. Please plan on riding with a friend if you prefer the long and be prepared for some climbing. Short: 29 miles / 700 ft climbing *Posh Bagel-1A (Folsom Bike Trails) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37678821 Long: 38 miles / 1,612 ft climbing *Posh Bagel-1B (Folsom Bike Trails) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/22688725

Ostensibly named after the nearby Tallac Village neighborhood, today‘s destination at 60th St. and 14th Ave. is actually in the Tahoe Park area just to the north. Village Drive In is one of three old-school roadside diners within easy riding distance of Barrio (the others being East Sac‘s Cookie‘s Drive In and Whitey‘s Jolly Kone in old West Sac). All offer similar fare that‘s neither a gourmet nor a particularly healthful throwback to the days when nobody on this side of the Pacific even heard of tofu. In addition to the typical shakes and burgers, it‘s rumored that Village offers some vegetarian options, although I could not confirm this. But who goes there for brussels sprouts anyway? Since the drive in opens at 11, the ride leaves at 10. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45578293 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

The route stops in old West Sacramento for a blast from the past, Whitey‘s Jolly Kone. This hamburger/hot dog/fries stand may have opened in 1963 but it‘s got a real ‘40s-‘50s vibe. What make it really stand out are its unusual milkshake flavors, including banana, blackberry, Butterfinger, butterscotch, cherry and peanut butter. There are also sundaes of various types and soft serve cones. Also available are a number of burgers, dogs, burritos, tacos and tostadas and a handful of side dishes. Health food it ain‘t, but the menu will take you back to the days when you could pig out on this stuff and not gain an ounce. This is classified as a lunch ride, but do what you want. During the winter this joint opens at 11 and so the ride starts at 9:30; summer hours begin at 8:30 so the ride leaves at 9 then. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42762312 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

We’ll celebrate the kickoff of Spring Blitz with a ride from Gold River to Shady Coffee and Tea in downtown Roseville using the Miner’s Ravine bike trail in both directions.

This ride is all about the *shift*, and I‘m not just talking about gears. For, while I tend to avoid the bike trails, this route takes us out to CSUS where we‘ll shift to the Jed Smith, exiting at the Del Paso crossing and proceeding on the boulevard to our designated stop, Shift Coffee House. We‘ll then proceed on our shifty way back to Jed Smith and into Old Sac, where we‘ll continue on the streets of Land Park to home base. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot.
