Today I rode from Pollock Pines to Placerville (in the CA foothills/mountains between Sacramento and Tahoe) and back. What a perfect day for a ride! It's just beautiful out and not too hot. I took a convoluted route so it turned out to be 39 miles round trip with probably 3,500' of climbing. I'm pooped!
Speaking of poop, there was a lot of it on the road. I had to take an unexpected detour because I met up with the Highway 50 Wagon Train, which is an annual event where a bunch of horses and wagons start in Nevada or South Lake Tahoe and follow Hwy. 50 and some back roads to Placerville. Then they have a big parade and BBQ and other festivities. This is the 59th annual event. The actual Wagon Train was really small this year, but I'm kind of happy about that because if it had been larger, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to avoid all the road apples!

46 mile club ride today, but ooh so windy. I took an out of town gal I met on the bike friday site out with us that was in town for a convention. It didn't rain, but it misted just enough to keep everyone cool!
Great rider turnout, must have been more than 100 people at the start including some good friends, so we had a great ride.
