Depending on where you are or if you can get closer to here, I can give you a ride up.

I may be begging you for a ride back to Rancho. I'm planning on riding this whole enchilada (120mi r/t). My wife is on-call if I need to sag (somewhere between folsom and elk grove on the rear leg of course 
)...
Matt. Are you riding there? If so, maybe we can meet somewhere on the ARBT and ride together for a bit. Lemme know.

I was thinking of riding. If I come alone it'd be cool to meet up with you. My friend might come though and he just got back on the bike after a month for a fractured radius, so he's not ready for the long miles.

I won't be able to make it after all. Too much work this week and too hard a gym workout has left me burnt-out and looking for sleep.
Hope you all have fun and I look forward to reading about the ride here (especially how the foothills were) and seeing the pictures that I am sure will follow.
Ride safe.

Holy cow. That was the HARDEST ride I've ever done. Just shy of 54 miles. 4554 feet of climbing. With a lot of breaks. I am not doing this ride again for a long while. It kicked my butt!

Wow, maybe it was for my own good that I ended up missing out given I've only done like 100 ft of climbing in my life 
How long did it take? Could a total newb (like me who's had his road bike for less than a month) do it but maybe with more breaks and such? I look forward to hearing how it went for the others!

Nico, probably a good thing you didn't come on this one. If I had realized how hard it would have been, I would have suggested something else!
Maybe I should frame the cue sheet?

That would be the part where the rest of you waited for my sorry slow ass!
Other than that, I don't think I'd classify that route as being eligible for "laid back." It was more like "what the hell was I thinking?!?!?!"
