Ride Description and Notes:

Come join me on some of the classic roads in Rocklin as well as the hills of Penryn. This includes a very short and sweet but steep hill, known as “Hillside to the spilt (climb).” According to Strava, 25 SFCC members have done this .2 mile hill in the past, with an average of 10%, but up to 15%. We can regroup at the top of the hill which is Skyline, and if anyone feels so inclined, they can do it again! Then we regroup at the Wilson Park bathrooms. After Hidden Hills, we go on a rarely used but interesting bike path through oak trees, alongside Camino Cielo Road, and up to Twelve Bridges. Then going back is the usual route through the Penryn hills.

The ride ranges between 25-30 mi with 1500k- 2000k ft of climbing.

Ride Description and Notes:
This Enduro will have us riding up Mt. Veeder, Dry Creek Rd., and Soda Canyon, with moderate mileage and elevation gain.                                  

The ride will start and end at Oxbow Public Market:  610 First St. Napa.  There's plenty of parking, and there are restrooms.

As usual, this will be a no-sweep ride with several regroups. Consider pairing up with another rider so you’ve got company between regroups.                          

The regroups, coffee, water, snacks, and bathroom breaks are listed on the ridewithgps route and cue sheet. I will list them here also: 

Mile 18.2: Regroup at the fire station. There is a Port-a-Potty (normally unlocked). This is after the Mt.Veeder descent.

Mile 27:  Water, snacks, and restrooms at the Chevron Station.

Mile 35.4: Ascend Soda Canyon 4 miles to the fire station and then start your descent (this is not a regroup spot and there are no facilities here.  It's just a turnaround spot).                

Mile 39.5: Regroup at the bottom of Soda Canyon at the Soda Canyon Store (this store has closed permanently, but there are picnic tables and room to park your bike).                                                                                

Mile 42.4: If it's a hot day, here is your last chance to get some more water. It's an old gas station with a convenience store.  Since we just regrouped 3 miles ago, this will just be a quick water stop.                          

After the ride, Oxbow Market has a large variety of restaurants (I will send out an email soon including a link to the various restaurants). There are tables at the rear of the building that the public can use, so you can bring your lunch if you want.

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.
