Ride through some different neighborhoods on this 29-mile D-ride. New to the Bike Hikers but this restaurant on El Camino Ave. is a long-time favorite in the Park Hill Estates neighborhood. Flap Jackets 1A https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46073449

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 three 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. 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.

There are two volunteer opportunities --- you can do one or both. On Friday afternoon, July 19, we need about 10 members (or friends or family) to assist with setting up the bike racks and fencing around the bike-to-water area. On Saturday July 20 we need at least 20 members to assist with capturing the bikes as the contestants drop their bikes and putting the bikes into the racks. Then in the afternoon when the riders return from the finish line, we assist when they claim their bikes and finally help with tearing down the racks and fencing. It is about a six hour day starting early and ending mid-afternoon. .
