Let’s head to Folsom and El Dorado Hills for some trail riding and a little hill climbing. Longer route takes those short and sweet hills around Mormon Island and a few more. I plan to sweep the long route unless it turns out to be too hot, I will update.

This is the easyrider 20, 26, or 31 mile ride out of Goldriver. This is a great ride for socializing at an easy pace, or whatever pace you choose. After, there is opportunity to lunch at Jack‘s.

Gold Country to William Pond and back. Due to the heat we will likely take it pretty easy.

Come join me on this ride that uses two bike trails (Miner’s Ravine Trail and Antelope Creek Trail) and then goes past two or three cemeteries on streets and roads.

The three cemeteries route is 38 miles with ~1800 ft climbing and has a rest stop in Newcastle (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41892249). I will sweep one of the two routes depending on the temperature and if people on the shorter route need sweeping.

Come join me on this easy flat ride out to Lenise’s Cafe in West Sacramento. All routes will be taking the new Del Rio bike trail down to Freeport. There are short and long gravel and road routes. Both gravel routes get on the levees along the Sacramento River and the deep water channel. These gravel routes are still mostly paved, so gravel or cyclocross bikes are best, but a mountain bike may work if you’re fast. Gravel, short: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794611 Gravel, long: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794698 Short and long routes for road bikes are still an option. Road, short: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794778 Road, long: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794841 The short and long routes separate after crossing the Freeport Bridge. The short routes turn right on South River Rd and head towards West Sacramento, with the gravel route staying on the levee when it turns to gravel. The long routes turn left on South River Rd. and then right on either Pumphouse Rd. (gravel) or Willow Point Rd. (road) before heading back to West Sacramento. After Lenise’s Cafe the routes separate again with the gravel routes getting on the levee along the deep water channel and the road routes staying on the streets. All the routes come together on South River Rd at the end of Village Parkway and then cross over the Tower Bridge and return through Land Park getting on the north end of the Del Rio bike trail by Riverside Blvd and taking it down to 35th Ave. I will sweep the short gravel route. If you plan to do one of the other routes I recommend that you ride with someone.

We are happy to announce the Bike Hikers are returning to ride the beautiful Monterey area, including Carmel, Marina, and the nearby Fort Ord Recreation Area.

Enjoy an additional ride day (route TBD) or sightsee in the area.

Options: D33, mostly on the bike trail, or C40 with 2,000’ elevation gain. Ride the scenic Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail to Marina for some refreshments at Marina Doughnuts. Those doing the shorter ride can stop and enjoy the Fort Ord Dunes State Park. Those doing the longer option will loop into the Fort Ord National Monument. There’s some climbing and some swooping long downhills that’ll get your heart pumping!

Ride along the “most beautiful coastline in the world!” Cruise along in front of those multi-million-dollar homes and the famous Pebble Beach golf course. After a visit to Carmel, make a stop at the Carmel Mission, ride on to Point Lobos State Natural Preserve or return to our hotel. The long route out to Point Lobos is about 36 miles with 2,000 feet of climbing. The short route is around 24 miles with 1,300 feet of climbing. For those hearty souls willing to go all out, we will also offer a non-swept 80 mile ride out Carmel Valley Road with a loop over Cachagua Road.
