Ride Description and Notes:
 The start location is the Park and Ride on the north side of Jack in the Box.  There is a Starbucks and a couple of fast food places next to the parking area if we need a restroom.

We will ride through the rolling hills of Vacaville first, which includes the longer, shallower side of Cantelow.  Then onto Pleasants Valley and along Putah Creek.  After about mile 30 it is a flat ride through nut/fruit orchards and some fields of tomatoes and corn.

There will be several regroups (they are noted on the cue sheet) and a bathroom break at mile 25. 

Our coffee break will be at Steady Eddy's in Winters.  

There will not be a sweep on this ride so best to pair up.

For after the ride:  there is Starbucks, Brass Tap (sports bar), or maybe just hang out in the parking area.

The Saturday ride meets at the Flower Farm, unless there is an event at the event center in which case we start in Loomis at the Train Station. 

There is an A group and a B group. The groups can spread out then you can ride your own pace...usually two or three groups with pairs scattered about and some single riders too. 

The ride ranges between 25-30 mi with 1k-1500k ft of climbing 


**Parking: Remember to park in the back gravel lots at the Flower Farm; not the spots along the entryway.

Sunday rides are at least 40 miles in length, giving moderate level riders the chance to ride a little further than our average distance. You'll find some rides that are flattish and some that are killer hilly. The average pace of the Sunday rides varies hugely based on the distance and the amount of climb. The start location of this ride varies weekly, so check the calendar.
