Yes, stay on the north shore road around Fall Creek Lake, this takes you right onto the road along Fall Creek, it's beautiful. Rattlesnake Rd is a fun option, you are on it Poprad!!!
The GEARs rides start and finish at Alton Baker Park near the duck pond and parking lot, but most riders peel off the ride where it's best for them to go home after.
I wish I could ride with you, I'm out with an injury at the moment.
