Ride Summary
Terrain: Rolling hills with a couple of hard (but short) climbs.
Distance: 12 Miles
Speed: 8 - 14 mph
Rider Level: D12 (Intermediate)
Sweep: Yes

Join us for the 12 mile dirt loop around Lake Natoma. This ride is intended for people who can sustain 9 MPH or more on dirt. We tend to go kinda' fast, but we are happy to reign it in if we're pressing too hard. We would rather enjoy your company and see you come back than break speed records. It should take no more than 2 hours. If you cannot maintain this pace, you are not being fair to the rest of the riders.
As always, helmets are required.
This event starts at the light rail station in the hope that you'll save gas, money and the environment by taking the train. The train costs $2.50 (cheaper than you can drive) and schedules can be seen here...

Just make sure your train says "Folsom" on it.

An RSVP is a Social Commitment. Your Hosts and Organizers go to great lengths and often personal expense to make these events fun and enjoyable for you. If you are unable to show up, please update your RSVP a minimum of 2 hours before the start time of the event.

    Of COURSE you want to ride in the mud Tracy, and I'm going to take a picture of you looking like you've been dipped in chocolate!

    Everyone riding a bike, especially women, look much better covered in mud.

    One more set of M970 Shimano pedals for $119 at Citrus Heights Performance Bike. Regularly $199. Guess who scored the other set? /=)

       Broke the rear dérailleur bracket at the steps about a half-mile in and got in a hike instead. 
    •  Marsh, great job......another nice ride, mudd is good! 
    •  I don't get out to this ride very much but I always have a great time when I do! The mud just added to the fun. Thanks for the great ride Marsh!

       My first time out on the Lake Natoma trails, and... I can't really say I enjoyed it much! I guess mud, horse crap and non-technical trails don't really do it for me. But I'm glad I got to check out the trails I hear everyone talking about...
