July 4, 2010 7:45 AM. 6 attended.
F40 Elk Grove to Walnut Grove
Ride Summary:
Terrain: Some busy roads leaving town but after that it is very rural and flat
Distance: about 42~ easy miles
Speed: 12-14 mph
Rider Level: for those who are embarking on Intermediate riding
Sweep: No
Departure time: 8:00 AM
We will gather at 7:45 am and be ready to roll by 8:00.
This flat ride will be approx 40 miles in length entirely on the streets of Elk Grove and southern area. These are mostly back roads so the traffic should be minimal.
From the parking lot we head south on Franklin Blvd south to Lambert Rd. Heading west over I-5 to intersect with Highway 160/River Rd. From there we turn south again passing through Locke and "ending"' in Walnut Grove. Will be making a pit stop for sandwiches, ice cream, or other here. Once we are ready we will head back on River Road up to Hood Franklin Road and back to Jamba Juice. (rather than back-tracking; this is a loop)
Please remember to bring plenty of water and snacks for this trip. As always your helmet is required.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Adrienne VEvent HostGroup Supporter, Assistant Organizer+1 guestMy guest got 2 flats (bruised the sidewall)....Z
ach showed us how to use a dollar bill (actually a $5 bill in this case) to cure the issue and all worked out for the rest of the ride. It was a pretty day that got warm rather quickly.
