Leavin' Davis-
This nature lover's trail features oncoming traffic spraying visitors with grit. I was picking sand out of my teeth for miles....
The trail leads directly to West Sacramento, which has some really cool retro motels which I failed to photograph
Bridge over American River-
Hitting the American River Trail-
The Incredible Bulk rests near the river beneath an oak-
A lovely day along the American River. I once read that this trail was dangerous, with vagrants swinging bats and throwing rocks at bikers and joggers, but it was nothing but easy riding and wonderful sights-
Wrong turn?
He wouldn't tell my why -
Anyone remember this spot?
Megawattage baby!
At this point in Folsom I met a fellow cyclist and he and I agreed that my map of this area was bad. We put our heads together and still couldn't pickG up the proper route. Then we met another cyclist who was headed for Green Valley Ave so we followed along. Thanks guys!
Plenty of cars to keep me company on Green Valley Rd. I read that this road was treacherous and I agree-This section was a challenge. Breezes one minute and dead heat the next.-
Safe in Rescue. A mile after this sign, an angry driver cut me off. My day ends a little further at Mike + Kelly's house. They recently moved to a killer spot in the hills and graciously accepted my crash request

Day one
My trip begins outside my front door in Oakland, CA at the foot of a large pet-themed mural of Lake Merritt...
After some smooches Claudia sends me on my way-
San Pablo Dam Road has some great views-
I take a break and bump into my old buddy John in Martinez-
The marina in Suisun City is really cool --
The photos of my mad zig zagging through Dixon/Davis farmland didn't upload for some reason. Just imagine the sun setting over green fields while the air smells of rich soil as the air cools...
