Let's try this again, maybe we'll get lucky with the weather.
Some more of my favorite local hills. Combined together to make an interesting route.
B/58
Distance: ~58 miles, approx 4000 feet.
Terrain: A few hills, some rollers, some steep (14% max)
Ability: Intermediate. If you've done the previous Hill Series Rides, you should be fine.
Speed: 16'ish on flats. Saving energy for the hills. Pace will be moderated on the bike trail, pending traffic.
Sweep: No, but we'll regroup at the top of each hill and at key turns.
You can print a cue sheet from the following: http://ridewithgps.co...
* Use of Aerobars prohibited on these rides (if you have them, don't use them). They are not safe for group rides. If you use aerobars, you will be asked to leave. No questions, no debates.
We're leaving from Hagan Park in Rancho at 9am sharp! That means, we start rolling at 9, be early to get ready.
This ride is NOT SWEPT! If you fall too far behind, we will not wait for you. Make sure to have a cue sheet (you can print out a cue sheet from the route link at the top) and understand the route.
If you RSVP as Maybe, it is assumed a NO unless you change it before the ride.
Rain cancels, showers does not.

Good ride through the classic El Dorado Hills routes. It was not too wet, I didn't even miss the windshield wipers I forgot at home. Thanks Joel for good leadership, and thanks to all, Joe, Jeff, Rex, Joel, for some excellent company.
Joe, we dragged a bit. Dale got a flat and I found a hole in my tire. We ended up detouring to Folsom Bike for some repairs.
great ride today. I stayed warm by hammering it back to hagan park. I waiited for 15 minutes or so and bailed.
We'll give it a go. Though if it is wet, I'm going to vary the route a little. I don't want to ride down Beatty in the wet. It'll be a bit sketchy.
I agree, I need to get out. I am riding down the hill until the rain stops me. I am hoping to make it down to the hatchery, then I'll let the storm base me.
You know, I really need out of the house. Get your rain gear ready!
In light of the revised route, I'll pick up the group near Iron Pt and Prairie City, probably a little after 9:30. No sense riding to the Hatchery only to turn around and come back the same route.
Rain is in the forecast again for tomorrow. Make sure to check back here in the morning. I'll post by 7:30am a "go" or a "fail"
You're right Mica. I posted the wrong one. It's fixed now.
Joel, looks like last rides route/cue sheet of Chili Hill is still up. Aren't we heading to Folsom/El Dorado Hills this one?
Ahh! I will be leaving to go out of town Sunday morning!! :( I wish my flight could be moved til later on in the day so I could go to this :( Have fun everybody!
