Please join me on a shorter, 15 mile, slow-paced ride from Gold River up to Natoma Station Drive. We will ride around some neighborhoods at 10+ mph and stop half-way at a lovely park for our break. Start time is 10:00. I will lead the ride and another club member will sweep. Please bring a spare tube, water, and a snack. Hope to see some new members! Route sheets provided.

For new members, I’ll explain the reference to the Wild Chicken at the start. There are 3 routes that go from Maidu Park in Roseville out to Bru coffee house in downtown Loomis. The short route is 32 miles with 1,100 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37763876). The intermediate route is 35 miles with ~1200 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37763887). The long route is 39 miles and ~1700 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37763885). The intermediate route will be swept. Bru is a small coffee house, but there are other options in downtown Loomis including the Ugly Mug which is more of a breakfast place and Starbucks on Horseshoe Bar Rd.

This ride departs from Big Lots at 9:00. Route takes familiar streets/trails to a familiar destination for coffee/snacks (Bella Bru at Five Points). The long will be swept. There will be some cue sheets or you can download from these links:

Yes it is Teddy Roosevelt's birthday today so lets celebrate with a ride to Newcastle Produce. We will start at the Folsom Village Shopping Center at 9AM. Note the route goes by the Flower Farm on the way back if you are still hungry.
Here is the route from the club library. *Newcastle Produce-2A (flat)
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29261996
It is 41 miles long and tries it best to stay away from busy roads. It is rated as a "B" ride only because of the long climb into Newcastle. The route does have 1800 feet of climbing overall in keeping with TR's belief in the The Strenuous Life.

Casual ride on the bike trail for those who are getting back into riding and for those who want to take it easy. This ride is for every level of riders.Mostly flat with a couple of bumps.May go to Bela Bru afterwards. F-20 miles

rest stops for your convenience. The Tour offers three courses: The

Same old question - to do Park Dr or not to do Park Dr? We'll circle out toward Rocklin and you can make up your mind along the way. If you have your stats from January 2020, how will they compare?

This was the first ride cancelled due to Covid and then again due to 110 temperature when the calendar opened. Hoping the third time try will be a go.

Route will be posted a week or so before.

Join us for a ride passing by three cemeteries to celebrate Day of the Dead. The ride departs at 9:00 am from Maidu Park in Roseville with a coffee stop at Newcastle Produce. Wear your skull or skeleton jersey if you have one!
Most of the climbing is up Old State Highway to the coffee stop. The long route returns down Rutherford Canyon and Wellington while the short route has a more direct path back to Maidu Park.

Coffee ride to Folsom or points beyond! Routes and destination coming soon!

This ride goes from Winters to Vacaville through the English Hills. Last spring I revised the beginning so that we might see some almond trees in blossom. Turns out it was a nicer way to get to Allendale Rd than along Winters Rd. However, it added a few miles so now the short route which stays on the rollers in the English Hills is 36 miles with 1060 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37667392). The long route is now 44 miles with 2200 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37667396). The routes are the same except for climbs up the east and west sides of Cantelow Rd. The rest stop is at Pure Grain Bakery is downtown Vacaville.

Let ride up the trail to Mel's for Breakfast

Short 1A 30.3 https://ridewithgps.com/routes/20799713

Long 1B 37.3 https://ridewithgps.com/routes/23507328

We will depart 5 Points Shopping Center with the Sacramento Wheelmen to purchase turkeys at Save Mart on Folsom Blvd and deliver them to the Sacramento Food Bank so those in need can also enjoy a feast at Thanksgiving. We will ride to lunch afterwards at a to-be-determined restuarant.
The ride is approximately 20 miles and flat. There will be little extra effort as many people will transport turkeys.

Get on the bike for an easy route up the ARBT to Folsom. After coffee we will go onto Folsom Lake Crossing to the Johnny Cash Trail then back to 5 Points.

Back by popular demand! We will cruise some back roads in Granite Bay and Loomis with a coffee stop at the Flower Farm. There will be both short and long C routes, defined as: Moderate - Hilly; a challenge for the average rider.
Routes TBD!

We will ride down the trail to the Scottish Rite Temple to support and provide course monitoring for Sacramento's Run to Feed the Hungry event, the largest Thanksgiving Day event in the country. The ride will not be swept and you'll need to find your way home after.
Please send John Grady an email to volunteer and give him your T-shirt size.

Join us for a roving morning ride to a favorite coffee shop.

A variation of the club ride to Shady Coffee and Tea taking the Roseville bike trail one way, including detour due to trail closure, and then returning on streets. There are two routes with the long route having more miles (37 miles) and climbing (1600 ft) (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37712005) and the short route returning more directly (33 miles, 1300 ft) (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37711995). Route sheets will be provided. Long route will be swept. Shady Coffee and Tea is a small coffee house, so bring food and water in case it’s crowded.
