Last night, having parked near the daycare and ridden from there, I returned via a longer route. I wanted to scout the climb I'd take if I were bringing kiddo in a bike seat. (If you know Folsom bike trails at all, it's the path from the old bridge through the rodeo grounds to Lyons park and the library.) It's pretty steep! It would be no problemo with MTB gears but my commuter has a low gear about 30" and it was a bit tougher. The route could potentially avoid streets almost entirely. I still need to ensure the first part is passable. It's a foot trail down the bluffs to the MUP at lake level, and I haven't been down it since our big winter storms. Maybe I'll scout that part on my next ride.
