State Capitol to Am River Pky Route Needed
Reno Wheelmen past Prez Mike Damon just plotted the Folsom to Reno
route he has been doing for us for the last two years to the new maps we are running at our site = http://www.bikeroute.com/BRdC/route...php?routeid=116 And this year we will be leaving from the California State Capitol for our ride to our receptions with the Rancho Cordova and Folsom Mayors. We will be riding the American River Parkway to get there. So that we can plot the route from the Capitol to the Jedediah Smith Rec Trail, is there any one here who can reply with a cue sheet for what what streets we need to use to connect the Capitol with the River Trail? THX in advance!! btw: Our 6th Annual National Mayors' Ride ride is at http://www.BikeRoute.com/NationalMayorsRide2008 Perfect love drives out fear - John 4:18 Martin Krieg "Awake Again" Author 2009 w/"How America Can Bike & Grow Rich" http://www.bikeroute.com/HBGR '79 & '86 TransAmerica Bike Rides Coma, Paralysis, Clinical Death Survivor NBG Founding Director, HiWheel Cyclist |

Re: State Capitol to Am River Pky Route Needed
Unfortunately there's no easy way to the path from the capitol building.
I don't ride out there very often, but my guess is that it's probably easiest to ride out toward 'Old Sacramento' first, which is a mile or two west of the capitol. The bike path is north of the river so you either have to cross on Highway 5 (a 65+ mph freeway, legal, but not suggested), or just west of the freeway there's a bridge that is no longer open to through traffic (just bikes and cars entering the park) in Discovery Park. At the north end of this bridge is where the bike path starts. Head eastbound on that path and you'll eventually (~30 miles) end up in Folsom. It's very flat, except for the last few miles into Folsom where there are a few hundred feet of climbing. If you have more specific questions feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to figure it out. -Rex |

Re: State Capitol to Am River Pky Route Needed
THX for this insight Rex. We did find a way that involves a few blocks
of sidewalk. See: http://www.bikeroute.com/BRdC/showRoute.php?routeid=120 THX 4 U!
