This is a great ride I've done with the Bike Hikers in the past. With this weekend looking to be a nice one weather wise let's do this as it's been a while.

This will be a fast paced ride. If any other AO would like to lead a slower group let me know.

We will meet at the Park & Ride lot in Winters on the corner of Railroad Ave and Main. Take Hwy 128 (Covell Blvd) from Davis; in Winters, turn left at Railroad Ave. We will DEPART by 8:30 am sharp! Please arrive no later than 8:15 am so we can leave on time. I'd suggest getting there around 8 am so you have time to use the restroom and grab a cup of joe if you like at Steady Eddies.

Here is a link to the map and elevation profile.

Here is a link to the cue sheet in PDF format. I'll bring a few extras.

Elevation gain is about 3800' unless you add the optional out-and-back on Mix Canyon. Except for Cantelow and Mix Canyon most of the climbing is completed in the first 26 miles.

This scenic route cruises up Hwys 128 and 121, visiting such sites as Monticello Dam, Cardiac Hill, Moskowite Corner, Wooden Valley, Gordon Valley and Mankas Corner. We return through Fairfield, Pleasants Valley, Cantelow, and the English Hills area to Winters.

There will be regrouping points for fluids, snacks, and lunch that I will put on the cue sheet. We will stop in Fairfield for lunch at Subway.

Things that are required...Helmet, 2 water bottles or camel back, snacks, $$$ for lunch/fluids, sunscreen, and spare tube/patch kit. You must be comfortable riding on rural roads w/ traffic.
