NorCal East: Sunday 6/26 - Some Auburn Standards
Looks like this little weekday heat wave will break by Sunday. Current forecast is 88 degrees.
Come out and join me on Sunday to ride some of the Auburn area "Standards". Hills to include Auburn-Folsom, Bald Hill, Baxter Grade, and Ridge Rd. Lunch at the always outstanding Newcastle Deli.
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/487065 - Note that the cue sheet missed the right turn onto Taylor after Ridge. We'll regroup there anyway to ride to lunch together.
Regroups at tops of hills and key turns. Pacing around 17 on flats. Be self-sufficient (that means stuff to fix a flat), 2 water bottles, snacks, money for lunch, etc.
Rolling from Folsom Bike at 9am. Or, if you want a few more miles, from my place in Rancho at 7:30.
Hope some of you will come out and join me!

Don't mince words
We'll take a rain check -- headed to Hellyer Velodrome to try some track action. The weather should be perfect for your ride. Enjoy!

While one of the riders was in the store, the other two were nice enough to let me take this picture:

Here's my usual sufferfest ride video of Hayes Drive, the last part of Newcastle Road, and Crater Hill Road. JoelS makes his appearance at 2:45. Nice spin!
I got dropped at Ophir Road, but it was fun while it lasted. Here's the Garmin data from my solo ride on the hills mentioned, plus Chili Hill, Bald Hill, Baxter Grade, and some lesser hills like Mt. Vernon Road. I got a flat tire on the gradual descent of Mt. Vernon Road, but at least I remembered to stop and restart the timer on my Garmin this time. : https://connect.garmin.com/activity/95103145

How very strange to see myself riding from behind like that. Thanks!
