It's Outrigger Dr., on the south-east side of Folsom Lake. The street loops around and to get back up from lake level, you're treated to a short climb with a twenty-percent grade. If you jump off the bike trail up near Folsom and head toward the foothills, you pretty quickly get into some nice climbing areas. Haven't been near the now overcrowded bike trail since the Covid thing hit, but my weekly schedule used to include a couple of rides on the trail (man, it's a beautiful trail) and a couple of days killing myself in the hills. Now I'm just trapped in the hills.

Saw a barn sale sign while out riding this morning. This is for sale too! I didn't ask how much, besides, my garage is full.

From my ride today, a nice little relaxed 27 miles around the valley. Pretty overcast and cool as a major storm front moved in. More snow coming tonight.

Hit the trails for a short ride on the Serotta to check the conditions. Things are looking good!

A couple pics of my "Grocery Getter" build, on my way to the store. This bike would be way better in an urban environment, but does well on the 6.5 mile trip into town.

This is my first foray into gravel bikes on a budget. This is during a post work ride where I met a buddy part way.

Just get above all the BS.

Very proud a photo of me inspired someone to paint a watercolor.

check out his YouTube channel.
