Excellent 50.6 mile ride today with a great friend of mine on the American River Bike Trail in Sacramento. We rode to Old Sacramento, got some super yummy fruit smoothies, and headed back up river. It was hot on the way back from Old Sac, but not unbearable. The trail wasn't overly crowded and it's so pretty to ride right next to the river. Too bad we didn't bring our bathing suits! I was especially enjoying the FLAT terrain. It's been a while since I did a nice flat ride. Then when we were done, we went to Costco for lunch...can't beat $1.50 for a giant hot dog & soda!
