April 21,2011 - American River Bike Ride

With Merrill Downing sporting a brand new bike, and Sherms grandson, Landon coming along to see how far as he could go, the Geezers rode their bikes from the CSUS Aquatic Center to the CSUS campus and back along the American River. Landon had a great ride. He just kept on peddling but started to get tired at the park. He traveled 15+ miles. John Hebner told us the ride would be about 20 flat miles. In realty and true to form, John was as consistent as ever as the actual mileage was 31 miles, not 20! The trail is very beautiful at this time of the year with plenty of wildlife, including deer.
This turned out to be a better than expected conditioning ride for the rescheduled San Francisco bike ride on May 12th. After this ride, I'm pretty sure many of us feel the need another ride prior to the San Francisco ride.

  1. You are right Roland, I'll need another conditioning ride before S.F.
    I was "done" for the day when I got home. It was beautiful. I think a ride to Beals point and beyond might be appropriate for the next ride. That way all the hard part is done before we start back.
