This is a route from Mica, which I have never done. But I'm working on Sat am/afternoon and would like to get out for an evening bike ride. Sat should be nice temps - high of 74 degrees, so thought I'd give this a try for all you nightowls out there!

We will start out at the Starbucks in Gold River off of Sunrise and venture out to Folsom and eventually El Dorado Hills to sneak in some hills. On our return, we will hit the bike trail around Folsom Crossing Bridge and enjoy the bike trail during the twilight hours! So bring your lights! Afterwards we can enjoy some beverages at Starbucks or maybe even a glass of wine at Il Forno Classico.

Meetup at 5:00, Depart by 5:15 pm

This is NOT a hammerfest. So leave those little hammers at home. With this ride being partially in the twilight, it is important we ride together for our safety.
Front and rear lights are required for this ride. Reflective gear would be good too.

Here is a link to the map. Please print out and bring your own copy.

Helmet and Lights are required. Don't forget the liquids and something to munch on. There will be stops for water and restrooms along the way.

If you have any questions please e-mail me.
