Monday
05/26/08 - A couple of us had shot an email or two on the Club Group
site and wanted to ride Monday morning. The weather wasn't supposed to be
the best but we didn't mind. We got out there bright and early and made
our way to the starting point. From there we headed North over to Rocklin
and then Lincoln. We made our way through Sun City and still found no one
out and about. Robert pulled us all down 193 into the wind and we didn't
dare drop out to have to brave it alone. After a quick break at the corner
of 193 and Sierra College it was time to start climbing. At the top of the
second peak we made a detour down English Colony and over to Humphrey, a much
better route I must say. From there we connected up with Taylor road and
then headed North East. We stopped for a quick refill at the local cemetery.
Some had to head back while the rest of us pushed ahead. Under the rail
road tracks we went via the Taylor Tunnel and then up and over the freeway to
Climb Indian Hill. Indian isn't a bad climb it's just a long gradual
climb, always a good workout. Once at the top it's a quick right and then
a down hill scream fest on Auburn Folsom. The nice part about this is the
construction work here is finally done giving you plenty of room as you shoot
down. We managed to reach up into the 40's as we made our way down this
quick stretch and the rest was a nice run. The sun was out now and finally
started to warm up but the wind was still there to keep things cooled
down. We made a pit stop at the corner of Douglas and Auburn Folsom to
fuel up and then hit the road once again. Instead of making our way down
Douglas like we usually do we headed down Eureka Road and then made our way up
and through the neighborhoods. Brent and Kenneth peeled off here for home
while Chris and Devin made the last stretch over the freeway to E. Roseville
Parkway. Chris peeled off soon after to make it too a family lunch and
Devin hammered it home from there. Another nice group ride in a new area
we'll be sure to go back for more.
