Morning Training Ride

No location was chosen

Distance: ~43 mi
Climbing: 2800 ft. Iron Point, Beatty, Wilson, Empire Ranch are the planned climbs.
Pace: 17-18 on the flats
Sweep: No. Have stuff to deal with flats.

Helmets required. 2 full water bottles a good idea, though there is a water fountain right before the descent of Olson at a park, after Beatty. Snacks may be a good idea too. Only planned regroups will be at the tops of hills and for mechanicals.

This will be the next iteration of my morning training rides. The kids are back in school, so I have a little bit more time to ride. And I don't have to be leaving at 6am to be back in time for my wife to get to work.

Lots of places to meet.
- Planning to leave home in Rancho Cordova at approx 8:45am.
- Should roll through Hagan Park about 5 minutes later.
- Should hit Sunrise about 5 after 9.
- Should hit the Fish Hatchery about 9:15.

If anyone wants to meet at my house and ride from here, we can get lunch after. Bring a change of clothes if you'd like. Send me a message for directions.

right on guys, good ride. Nice to see ya again Rick and good to meet you Joel. True to the ride description, only stop for hilltop water fountains and mechanicals... ha ha as there was one mechanical, therefore Joel got to use the rusty old pump. Until next time.

Fun! Thanks for coming. Sorry my legs were shot. The cycling gods sure smote (is that a word?) me with that flat.
