Riding in Folsom California

Pata and Kent on the first ride.

We stayed with David’s sister Sarah and her husband Kent for the past two days.  We rode both days – about 30 miles each day.  It was fun to ride without the load, even if the touring bikes are still on the heavier side.  It was good to be on the bike again after a week and a half of not riding.

We rode along the river and saw the salmon swimming upstream to spawn.  There is an extensive system of bike trails in Folsom so most of the riding was off the road.  It was quite beautiful and nice to be off busy roads. 

We had a lovely time with Sarah and Kent.  It was good for me to meet some of David’s family for the first time.  We hope that we can lure them to the Boston area for a visit sometime where we can show them some of our favorite rides out in Concord, Bolton, and Berlin Massachusetts.
