Easy ride from Gold River up Gold Country Blvd to the Fish Hatchery to pick up the bike trail. The 20 mile riders will take a break at Wm. Pond Park before returning to Gold River. The 26 mile route goes to Watt Ave. then returns to Gold River. The 31 mile route goes to the Guy West Bridge then returns to Gold River. There are options for lunch or coffee after the ride

We‘ll head to the wilds of East Sac to a quaint little mom-‘n‘-pop market-cum-cafe that offers a secluded patio where we can park the bikes and have a coffee/tea and a bit of a nosh. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40752080 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

Let’s pedal around Granite Bay, Roseville,Penryn, and Loomis to Roanie’s for a treat. The long route will pass through the neighborhoods adjacent to Morningside Drive and ride on familiar roads: Brennans, Gilardi, Taylor, and Callison, before stopping at the coffee shop. On the return, it climbs Sierra College and turns on Scarborough, East Roseville Prkwy and back to Maidu Park. The short route is more direct to the coffee shop, and the return skips the Sierra College climb. LONG Route: *Roanie‘s Coffee 1B 40.1 mi/2238 ft https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50946703 SHORT Route: *Roanie‘s Coffee 1A 30.4 mi/1474 ft. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50946738 I’m planning to sweep the long route. The good news is, you can do the long route out and take the short route back and skip some of the climbing towards the end. Thanks George for a great route!

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. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44811376 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

Start at 10:00 AM. The ride is a loop with no mid-point stop, but optional lunch at Dos Coyotes or (?) after the ride. Route: *FRA ER GN 24 Trail, https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36027835, 24 miles, 1200 feet of climbing. In the tradition of Folsom Roundabout, you can ride from House of Mules to the Fish Hatchery and back before or after the core ride and record 31 miles. There is no route sheet for this additional loop. More loops may be added at the discretion of the Ride Leader.

A coffee ride to Paneras on Zinfandel, Rancho https://ridewithgps.com/routes/33777494

Let‘s ride from the Loomis Train station up to Auburn for coffee and treats at The Baker and the Cakemaker this time via Millertown Rd. Just one route: 40 miles with 2600‘of climbing. *The Baker and the Cakemaker-2E (via Millertown Rd) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41929698 I will have will have copies of the cue sheet. Note the time, the ride starts at 9:00 a.m. Rain or threat of rain cancels the ride.

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.
