Anyone familiar with Husick‘s Taproom knows that it periodically changes ownership and closes for a time. This happened again earlier this year, and the venue has once again reopened. The new owner has retained the pizza offerings and added appetizers, salads and sandwiches, and even dinner entrees. Most importantly, there‘s still decent beer on draft. This is an easy route of moderate length that travels familiar roads in the Greenhaven/Pocket and Clarksburg areas, and starts relatively late to accommodate Husick‘s opening time of 11. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44796871 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

Come join me on this easy flat ride out to Lenise’s Cafe in West Sacramento. All routes will be taking the new Del Rio bike trail down to Freeport. There are short and long gravel and road routes. Both gravel routes get on the levees along the Sacramento River and the deep water channel. These gravel routes are still mostly paved, so gravel or cyclocross bikes are best, but a mountain bike may work if you’re fast. Gravel, short: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794611 Gravel, long: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794698 Short and long routes for road bikes are still an option. Road, short: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794778 Road, long: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46794841 The short and long routes separate after crossing the Freeport Bridge. The short routes turn right on South River Rd and head towards West Sacramento, with the gravel route staying on the levee when it turns to gravel. The long routes turn left on South River Rd. and then right on either Pumphouse Rd. (gravel) or Willow Point Rd. (road) before heading back to West Sacramento. After Lenise’s Cafe the routes separate again with the gravel routes getting on the levee along the deep water channel and the road routes staying on the streets. All the routes come together on South River Rd at the end of Village Parkway and then cross over the Tower Bridge and return through Land Park getting on the north end of the Del Rio bike trail by Riverside Blvd and taking it down to 35th Ave. I will sweep the short gravel route. If you plan to do one of the other routes I recommend that you ride with someone.

Bike friendly streets plus 8 miles of trail. Coffee/snack stop at Starbucks with patio just over halfway through. *Starbucks Folsom-2A (CCW, via Sailor Bar Park) C+ 32.2 miles +1663 ft https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38142804 There‘s a gravel section at mile 9.3. Feel free to detour this by turning left onto Winding Way at mile 9.0 and then right onto Hazel at the end of Winding Way. There is a RWGPS cue for this at mile 9.0. No minimum (or maximum) pace.

It’s Bill’s birthday today, and therefore the perfect time to plan a ride centered around his love for bakeries and baked goods! So, please join us as we head out to Roseville’s Paris Baguette where a large selection of sweet and savory breakfast items await! The challenge will be in deciding just what to indulge in! We start at Folsom Village Shopping Center on Oak Avenue in Folsom with both long and short route options. Start time is 9am. We hope you will join us! (I will sweep the short route.

East Sac‘s answer to Whitey‘s Jolly Kone is Cookie‘s Drive in, a modest take-out-only joint near CSUS that‘s been serving up fancy burgers and arguably the area‘s best, thickest shakes for 65 years. As with Whitey‘s, Cookie‘s opens at 11, so the ride leaves at 9:30. The route loops through Land Park, Downtown and East Sac before returning via Meadowview and the Pocket. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45671201 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

To follow

From Barrio we head to posh East Sac and swing through somewhat less-posh Oak Park before making a pit stop at Freeport Bakery (or Marie‘s Donuts if preferred) and wending our way back to Greenhaven via the Pocket. A moderate pace suitable for less-energetic boppers is expected. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40704517 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

My challenge this year was to create a new ride in RWGPS that was 24 miles (for 2024) and I know it is a rather short ride. But hopefully you will join me as we ride to Ashley‘s on Main Ave in Orangevale from Gold River. Ashley‘s 1A (from Gold River, not Five Points): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48645764

Start at 10:00 AM. The ride is a loop with no mid-point stop, but optional lunch at Dos Coyotes or (?) after the ride. Route: *FRA ER GN 24 Trail, https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36027835, 24 miles, 1200 feet of climbing.

The route stops in old West Sacramento for a blast from the past, Whitey‘s Jolly Kone. This hamburger/hot dog/fries stand may have opened in 1963 but it‘s got a real ‘40s-‘50s vibe. What make it really stand out are its unusual milkshake flavors, including banana, blackberry, Butterfinger, butterscotch, cherry and peanut butter. There are also sundaes of various types and soft serve cones. Also available are a number of burgers, dogs, burritos, tacos and tostadas and a handful of side dishes. Health food it ain‘t, but the menu will take you back to the days when you could pig out on this stuff and not gain an ounce. This is classified as a lunch ride, but do what you want. Since this joint opens at 11, the ride always starts at 9:30 so we can arrive slightly early to get in line. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42762312 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

We‘ll ride a mix of trails and streets to a breakfast stop at the 49er Diner (AKA Silver Skillet), 49er Travel Plaza (truck stop) near I-5 @ W. El Camino. Bring a lock. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42739740 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

This ride goes to the Pure Grain Bakery in downtown Vacaville and returns a different route to Winters for an optional refreshment at Hooby’s Brewing in Winters, ergo the name. Cantelow Rd is open again, so the long route will go in the usual clockwise direction (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41429096). The distance is about 44 miles with 2,000 ft climbing. The short route has not changed and goes around the English Hills in a clockwise direction staying on the lower rollers in the English Hills. It’s 36 miles with about 1000 ft climbing (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41429095). The two routes split at Steiger Hill and Cantelow Rd. The climbs up Cantelow Rd on the long route are up and back to the top from both sides, so you can just turn around if it becomes too difficult. Also, if you want you can do both climbs on Cantelow Rd before the rest stop by continuing on after climbing to the top and then turn around at Pleasant Valley Rd at the bottom.

A short, flat spin takes us on a rough figure-eight route through Land Park, the Central Grid and East Sac on the way to the cafe stop at 24th St. and 2nd Ave. in northwest Curtis Park. Most streets will be familiar but we‘ll be traveling many in the opposite direction. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44787171 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

Start at 10:00 AM. The ride is a loop with no mid-point stop, but optional lunch at Dos Coyotes or (?) after the ride.

There is no route sheet for this additional loop. More loops may be added at the discretion of the Ride Leader.

The route departs Barrio at South Hills and takes a blend of trails and streets as it wends its way through the southeast to the famed Bert‘s Diner in Sheldon. If you haven‘t been to Bert‘s, you‘re in for a treat. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43898319

We‘ll head to the wilds of East Sac to a quaint little mom-‘n‘-pop market-cum-cafe that offers a secluded patio where we can park the bikes and have a coffee/tea and a bit of a nosh. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40752080 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

Short route: 32 mile +1556 ft *La Bou Blue Ravine-2A (CCW, via Sailor Bar Park) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38132498 Long route: 41 mile +2216 ft *La Bou Blue Ravine-2B (CCW, via Sailor Bar Park) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38142515 Routes are the same as far as the coffee stop, so all riders will be swept on the way out. The long route will be swept on the return. There is a 400ft dirt/gravel path at Sailor Bar Park on the way out that can be detoured around if desired. The climbing is mostly spread over the ride, with climbing to the top of Iron Point being the biggest challenge on the long route.

Let‘s get out to Park Dr in Rocklin and check if we‘‘ve improved since April. I will sweep the 39 mile route. The difference between the 39 and 41 mile routes is the climb up the last part of Park. There is also an option for about 33 miles that will be noted on the cue sheets for both other options. 39 and 41 miles routes to follow

Will update where to ride for coffee and treats.

We‘ll traverse Land Park, Old Sac, Discovery Park and the suburban streets of Natomas on this route that stops at the Bella Bru in the Natomas Park shopping center near Del Paso Rd.

There is no route sheet for this additional loop. More loops may be added at the discretion of the Ride Leader.

Following essentially the same route as we would to Carol‘s, we‘ll do a loop through the Clarksburg area and wend our way north to downtown West Sac and this little corner cafe that features plein air seating amid a variety of fruit trees. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43899478 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

All riders will be swept on the way out. I‘ll sweep the long route on the return. Climbs of note: Beal‘s Point, Oak Leaf, Dick Cook (8.2%), all on the way out.

The route is similar to the short one plotted by our own beloved Carolyn Lewis. Y‘all know the cafe and the roads so there isn‘t much that needs to be said. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48311977 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

This ride goes from Gold River to Shady Coffee and Tea in downtown Roseville using the Miner’s Ravine bike trail in both directions. The routes are the same until after exiting the bike trail on the return and turning onto Cavitt Stallman. The long route turns left on Cavitt Stallman (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31611380),and the short route turns right (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41538021).

Start at 10:00 AM. The ride is a loop with no mid-point stop, but optional lunch at Dos Coyotes or (?) after the ride. Route: *FRA ER GN 24 Trail, https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36027835, 24 miles, 1200 feet of climbing.

Ostensibly named after the nearby Tallac Village neighborhood, today‘s destination at 60th St. and 14th Ave. is actually in the Tahoe Park area just to the north. Village Drive In is one of three old-school roadside diners within easy riding distance of Barrio (the others being East Sac‘s Cookie‘s Drive In and Whitey‘s Jolly Kone in old West Sac). All offer similar fare that‘s neither a gourmet nor a particularly healthful throwback to the days when nobody on this side of the Pacific even heard of tofu. In addition to the typical shakes and burgers, it‘s rumored that Village offers some vegetarian options, although I could not confirm this. But who goes there for brussels sprouts anyway? Since the drive in opens at 11, the ride leaves at 10. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45578293 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

On this route you *can* have your druthers--Druthers Coffee Shop, that is. This relatively new corner spot in the Sutter Park housing development is small and spartan, but there‘s a bit of patio seating outside and a beautifully landscaped commons-type park across the street with benches. Offerings include the typical coffee selections plus chai, and a very atypical sweet potato waffle in three varieties--plain, peaches & cream and coffee cake--plus occasional seasonal variations such as pear. The route traverses the downtown grid and McKinley Village before looping around the top side of East Sac, and returns via Elmhurst, North Oak Park, Curtis Park and Land Park. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44913264 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

Short route: *Starbucks Horseshoe Bar-1A https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29262034 32.6 mi / 1,104 ft Long route: *Starbucks Horseshoe Bar-1D https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29262027 40.7 mi / 1,715 ft I will sweep the long route. The short route is different on the way out and the same on the return and so will be swept on the return only.

AKA "Happy Trails to You," this route vectors southeast through Laguna and Elk Grove along both streets and trails, assumes a heading of 270 degrees enroute to the town of Hood, then follows the river north to finally taxi into the parking area at Sac Executive Airport‘s Aviator‘s restaurant. The last leg before the cafe stop is a long stretch on the river‘s east levee road, which is highly unusual for club rides. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44786772 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.

We‘ll cruise down to Clarksburg and then work our way southwest to Courtland Rd, thence making a beeline back to the river and our stop for the day. Steamboat Landing is located on the west shore at the mouth of Steamboat Slough, about a mile south of Courtland. While the venue formerly offered snacks, it‘s changed hands and now serves up Chinese cuisine--but you can still just grab a drink before hitting the road again. Opening time is 11:30; the ride leaves at 10. Ride starts from the NE corner of the parking lot. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44714158 Note: Registration deadline is 12 hours prior to the ride start.
