No change to the ride. FYI.
The long route differs from the short route in 2 places. First where it climbs the lower part of Sierra College Blvd. Second where it climbs the upper part of Sierra College Blvd and does English Colony. Feel free to do just 1 of those long parts. E.G. you could do the lower SCB and then follow the short route where the long splits left onto upper SCB from Del Mar.
Bru Cafe in Loomis is an alternative rest stop to Starbucks.
