Gold Country to William Pond and back. Due to the heat we will likely take it pretty easy.

Come join me on this ride that uses two bike trails (Miner’s Ravine Trail and Antelope Creek Trail) and then goes past two or three cemeteries on streets and roads. The two cemeteries route is 32 miles with ~ 1300 ft climbing and has a rest stop in downtown Loomis (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40843574). The three cemeteries route is 38 miles with ~1800 ft climbing and has a rest stop in Newcastle (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41892249). I will sweep one of the two routes depending on the temperature and if people on the shorter route need sweeping.

Start at 9:00 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. In the tradition of Folsom Roundabout, you can ride from House of Mules to the Fish Hatchery and back before or after the core ride and record 31 miles.
