Ride Description: This route uses the bike path to reach Fair Oaks, then on to Orangevale via Winding Way. Known roads lead to Folsom Lake Crossing, and then on to a short stretch on Green Valley before cutting through neighborhoods to El Dorado Blvd. From there it climbs Governor to Ridgeview and then descends Wilson. A loop around Latrobe and Blackstone leads to Peet's at mile 35. The return wanders neighborhoods between Iron Point and Broadstone before following Iron Point to Folsom and the bike path to return to WP Park. There are multiple options to avoid the bigger climbs.
For those who would like easy access to WP from Hwy 50, use the Mather Rd exit to Rod Beaudry Rd that leads to the parkway. Park inside or outside the park a few hundred yards from the east end of the bike bridge.
Coffee: Peets at mile 35.
