I don’t know how I wound up being the authority here?!?!?!?! I reserve the right to step down from my post at anytime.
I WILL say this: 8:30am departure makes it too cold for a good Mosquito Ridge run (on a day that is supposed to be cold). I’ve been hearing that there is still sand on the road and snow...so maybe we’ll leave it to clear up for another couple of weeks. Here’s some options instead:
1) Barryessa: check out a few of the lesser known roads (that 8 mile stretch behind the corners is supposed to be good) take in some of Hwy 121 and maybe wind up in Healdsburg, Petaluma, or Calistoga for a bite.
2) Foothill “shortie” ride: Salmon Falls, Hwy 49 through Coloma to 193 to G-town for breakfast/brunch...take 193 the other way to Cool and then home OR come back down 193, head south on 49 and check out some grub in Diamond Springs.
3) Fiddletown /Volcano ride: Do the scenic tour thing...head out Latrobe on the South side of Folsom to Fiddle town then through to Volcano. Pretty mellow route (not technical) until you hit this intense little strip of twisties into Volcano. There is a colorful little old west salon/restaurant to have breakfast. Those heading back to Sacramento can battle the Harleys and take 49 to 16 back home.
4) Slab to Bakersfield...lunch and beer on BP!
We won’t be tangling with any of the sport tour peeps. It’s all about putting down some miles and sharing a little company over some food. There will be no hour long fuel stops. =P. Let me know what you milage per tank is and we can keep closer tabs on gas.
