Hi Everyone,

This Saturday's group ride will go around Lake Natomas and then up Green Valley, Malcolm Dixon, and Deer Valley to the town of Rescue. This is a classic ride and offers something for all riders. For the slower riders and people just starting out, the ride around Lake Natomas is perfect. The route can just end at the same point where we started and is approximately 13 miles. For those looking for more of a challenge, the ride has some flats and some hills and is a nice 40 mile ride. For the person looking for even a bit more, there is a variation that will offer another 10 miles and a grade of up to 21% hill climbing.

For all riders that continue up to Rescue, we will have an organized rest stop at the half way point at the Rescue General Store with food and drinks (supplied by our great support team).

This is another great ride to get your cycling legs going and we have plenty of encouragement. Please join us and invite a friend! I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!
