Let's do a quick ride around Folsom and El Dorado Hills. Quick enough to be done in less than 2 hours (hopefully).
This route is thankfully short but it does have some pretty steep hills - 8 - 13% in the middle. The ride is intended for those who like to ride at a moderate pace. It will not be a hammerfest.
We will meet at parking lot across Starbucks at the corner of Blue Ravine Rd and Folsom Blvd by Tahoe Joes at 9:15 am and roll promptly at 9:30
You need to have some decent climbing experience to be able to do this ride.
We will take a quick break at halfway point. Please note that there are no facilities where we will be taking a break.
We are on a limited time frame so we will not be sweeping. Please make sure you have a copy of the route sheet if you're faster or slower than us.
