Good work
Click here for a variation of this ride I recently did. When you get to the to Pilot Hill (top of Salmon Falls climb), take a left at Rattlesnake Bar road. This is a 10 mile out and back, 20 miles total, with lot's of climbing both ways. After decending down 193 to the confluence, go right (not left) and climb out of the canyon via Old Forresthill Road. If you're still looking for more climbing, drop down to Lake Clementine for an extra 1000' over 2.2 miles. Then head into Auburn by crossing the Forresthill bridge.
I did this loop as a training ride for the Devil Mountain Double. It proved to be effective.

This bridge is great. You're not missing anything by going this route. I prefer this over weaving through traffic in downtown Folsom.
