We left Sutter Creek at about 9:15am, weather was absolutely beautiful!!! Perfect Fall day. When it started uphill for the first 1/2 hour I should of known...First stop, Volcano. Adorable little mining town, had a peach pie turnover thing and then onto do Rams Horn Grade. Three + miles of climbing. It was absolutely beautiful and no traffic! Rode along a ridge, another climb and then finally to the descent. Lovely winding roads with views. Down to Plymouth and the back to Sutter Creek with a lovely climb at the end to make your legs beg for more...yeah right!

It was a beautiful and challenging ride for my new bike. Need to change out the handlebars and it is going to be perfect!

It was approx. 43 miles and 4100 ft in climbing! Lovely! Surprisingly enough I can't wait to do it again!
