Subject: RE: Anyone from Sacramento, CA? Jon,
It was great! Too bad you couldn't make it. Shellee (cadreamer ) and I started from the Fish Hatchery at about 8:30 and rode for 2 hours, covering about 29 miles. It was sunny and a little cool at first, but that was OK because by the time we ended it was starting to get warm. We kept a good pace, averaging about 14.5 mph. The route was pretty flat with a few small hills and some twists and turns, partly shaded and beautiful scenery along the river. We even saw a bald eagle! (I didn't know there were any in this area. ) Lots of runners were out training for the upcoming CA Int'l Marathon, and there were a couple of moments that were pretty technical, riding around curves, runners, and other cyclists. It was nice to ride with someone else for a change. Afterwards we had some mini muffins and chatted.
Nothing concrete is planned because of the upcoming holiday, but both of us are interested in group workouts in the future. A trail run sounds great. Do you know of a good place to run?
