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.

A lot of wood down on the trail today. Swamp Logger Marsh did the saw thing, but the trail needs some TLC, and a horse Porta-Potty. That'll teach you to follow a wheel-rooster too close. Yicky
Thank you all for introducing yourselves. After a yr off the only familiar faces were Marsh, Rodger, and Ron. I'll try to get out more often, as I really enjoyed the ride.
Steve is so bummed...it doesn't look like he can get off early on Friday's anymore to ride :(
