Apple Hill Ride
Kev and I went for another ride this weekend. There just has been no snow, and it's hard to justify heading up the hill to grind on our skis. We'll keep praying for some snow to fall though. But since we haven't been getting up to ski, we have been getting in some rides instead. Unheard of to be riding up in Placerville area at this time of year, but we did it. On Sunday the winds down in Sac area were around 20 mph, so we decided to head up and get in another loop in the Apple Hill region. I'm really glad we did because it was georgous up there! A great short ride we put in.
Stats:
Distance: 26.61 mi
Start: 1323
Finish: 1512
Riding Time: 1:45
Avg Speed: 15.1 mph
Max Speed: 39.9 mph
Wind: W 7
Temp: 55°
Food consumption: 1 granola bar, 1 bottle of water
Prefood notes: cheerios, banana, muffin
Riding Notes: We had done a similar ride back on Oct 22, but had taken a slightly different route. I liked the route we did this time a bit better. This was the basic description of the route:
- start Mosiquito Rd, veer onto Union Ridge Rd, Left on Hassler Rd, left on Hidden Valley / N Canyon Rd (we had taken a right here before...), left on Larsen Dr, Rt on Cable, rt on Carson Rd, lft on Snows Rd, which turns into Newtown Rd, rt on Pleasant Valley Rd, Rt on Cedar Ravine Rd, rt on Main St, lft back onto Mosquito Rd.
We could have added a little bit more by turning on Quarry Rd off of Cedar Ravine, but just kept heading on Cedar Ravine.
