Today's ride, from Silver Spur Ranch to Utopia on the River, begins under a threatening sky. Six riders decide to take a short-cut but this included 5.7 miles of unpaved road. If they experience rain on that unpaved road, they’ll be sorry. They managed ok and, in fact, all of us only experienced a few minor showers the entire day.
Almost everyone stopped at the Lost Maples Café in Utopia and a few tried my recommendation, buttermilk pie.
The “official” route was 47 miles; the short-cut route was 31 miles. But everyone had to climb a hill that cyclists have named “sparrows nest”. It’s less that 1/3 of a mile but features a 15%.
Dinner tonight is at the Laurel Tree. Be sure to click on this link to the left and look at the photos below.
