Ride Description:

We will start out at William B Pond Park and head up to via the north side of the trail along Lake Natoma to Beals Point where we will take a 10 minute break. We will head back down and hit the south side of the trail along Lake Natoma as we return to Pond Park where we will take a 10 minute break. People can choose to peel off at this point if they only want to do the 35 mile option. From there we will continue on to Discovery Park and head into Old Sacramento to dine at a place TBA for lunch. Afterwards we will head back to Pond Park.

This is an endurance ride, not a race. We will ride as a group so please be conscious of this when you RSVP. You should be able to keep a 15 mph average and be comfortable doing at least 50 miles.

Meetup at 8 am and depart by 8:15 am.

Helmets are required as always. Bring fluids, snacks as needed, and $$$ for lunch.

You can park at the 5 Points Shopping Center or along Arden Way just outside of William B. Pond Park.

Rain Cancels, light/intermittent showers do not.

    Now I see why Mel RSVP'd with "lazy." My friend Mariam is joining us and ended up creating her own account. I'm no longer a +1. :<(
