All three routes will start in Gold River in front of Rite Aid.
The long and short routes will head to Roanie's Coffee in Penryn, following familiar roads in Orangevale and Roseville, before reaching Newcastle and Penryn. The return will take us through Val Verde, Rutherford Canyon, and Barton roads. The Long route will then turn onto Rocklin Road, climb Sierra College Blvd, and descend via Secret Ravine and Miner's Ravine trails, eventually returning to Gold River via E. Roseville Parkway, Fair Oaks Blvd, and other roads.
The medium route is 5 miles shorter than the long route and has 500 ft of less climbing. It continues straight on King Rd on the way to the coffee shop and bypasses Sierra College Blvd and the trails on the return.
The short route will divert from the long and medium routes at the intersection of Cavitt Stallman and Laird Road. The rest stop is the Starbucks at the corner of Cavitt Stallman and Douglas Blvd. at mile 24.
