Going to be in SacTown for the Track & Field Trials. Anybody out there know where to ride? I’m staying near Sac State, so I can run on the river trail. I’ve found some local YMCAs that have open lap swimming, so I’m good there. Not sure where to get in a couple of 2-4 hr rides. Any suggestions?
Yeah, the best place will still be the bike trail. If you start at Old Sac, and ride up to Beals Point (folsom lake) and back thats about 60-65 miles and thats all on the bike trail, so no need to worry about cars or stoplights. If you want a longer ride than that, start at old sac and ride up to Folsom (on the bike trail) and then take to the roads in folsom and go towards the town of Rescue. You will get a lot more hills if you got to Rescue and back.
Also, theres the organized group rides:
there’s a ride that starts at City bicycle Works on K street and goes along the levee on the river on Saturday at 10a. Or you can travel out to Davis and do their ride that starts at the old Steve Larsens Wheelworks on Saturday and goes out to like Dixon that used to start at 9am, it may have been moved to 8am now that the weather is hotter, call wheelworks in Davis to find out.
hope this helps
