American River Bike Trail in Sacramento . . .

. . . last week while visiting relatives in the area. I was able to borrow a 15 year-old Cannondale Synapse and got in 33+ miles on this trail that is just part of the extensive network of paved trails and cycling infrastructure in the Sacto area. Multiple neighborhood access points, bathrooms, benches, picnic areas, etc. But with equestrians letting their horses crap on it and the wealth of late afternoon would-be Strava champions, it can be dicey depending on when you ride it. I tried a bit of off-pavement advantage on this side road that my Garmin simply labeled as "unpaved road." I found out it was a bit rougher than that, LOL!

That looks like an incredible place to ride bikes, Dave. What's the deal with those stone circles?
And you know there's someone(s) out there telling their friends how 'yeah, you can ride that unpaved road with 28's, no problem, just let a little pressure out maybe.'
