Description: Two routes to choose from. Both routes go over Col De Costco and stay together for the first 17.1 miles. The long route climbs Guadalupe Drive before stopping at Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters (mile 27.6).The short route skips the climb and goes to the same coffee stop (mile 23.2). Next door is a bagel place. Across the lot is a Peet’s Coffee in Raley’s. Moving on, both routes climb Folsom Dam Crossing. The long route turns around at Beal’s Point; the short route turns before that. Both routes are on a stretch of bike trail along Silva Valley Parkway, on the Johnny Cash Bike Trail from end to end, and stay together the rest of the way back to the start.
Elevation: Short route, 2,478 feet; Long route, 2,906 feet.
