I need to catch up to hill climbing as I haven't been riding lately due to the rain.

Let's do a quick ride around Folsom and El Dorado Hills.

This route is thankfully short but it does have some pretty steep hills - 8 - 13% in the middle.

We will meet at parking lot across Starbucks at the corner of Blue Ravine Rd and Folsom Blvd by Tahoe Joes at 9 am and roll promptly at 9:15

You need to have some decent climbing experience to be able to do this ride. The hills here are steeper than the Granite Bay/Indian Hill route but they are a lot shorter.

We will take a quick break at halfway point. Please note that there are no facilities where we will be taking a break.

I'm on a limited time frame so I will not be sweeping. Please make sure you have a copy of the route sheet if you're faster or slower than moi. I will distribute route sheets at the start of the ride.

Here's our route - Route
