Oh, bring some snacks and enough water. I've not ridden this route and don't know what's available for food/water/etc.

I lived in Elk Grove for 12 years, although I never biked around the city. The start point is very close to my old house, haha. Franklin High School should have some water fountains around at the minimum, I don't think their bathrooms will be open though, as most schools are like that during the weekend. Can always call and find out: (916) 714-8150

Thanks for the reminder about the time change. I'll make sure I get to bed early. It's an hour drive.

Didn't tprevost say we'd have SAG? You could use that to store clothes as it warms up.

Starting to become concerned about wind. It's supposed to be windy on Saturday. Wind sucks!

I think it'll be ok. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so a bit of breeze on Saturday wouldn't be odd. Sunday should be better.

Don't mince words
I can't speak for Chris but I'm out -- showing property all day and (I hope) writing a couple offers.
So no tandems on this ride, unless someone else steps up...

Most of all thank you to the great SAG driver (VMC) who made sure I didn't get left on the road somewhere

No riders, but some bikes! (And a random shot of the river from the market parking lot.)
Great to meet everyone even if I did get my butt kicked. Legs were totally not feeling it after about 25 miles. Guess that's my punishment for not riding for 2 weeks.
