American River Bike Trail

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize how lucky we are in Sacramento to have access to such a beautiful place to ride our bikes. 32 miles from Discovery Park to Folsom Lake. Even though we're in a city, we have a place that is close (only a mile from me!) to ride and run away from the craziness of life. While I was gone, we even got these awesome bike stations for any emergency repairs. My bike is modeling this really cool service station.

I love being outside and seeing nature. Coyote, deer, rattle snakes, turtles, etc. are always around on the trails. I enjoy seeing creatures in their natural habitat (including the athletes).

I love being able to go for a weekend ride and seeing my teammates and friends out on random parts of the trail. We're all out their working hard and it's always great to see a smiling face.

And of course there's the cyclist dude who is always out cheering everyone on and ringing his cowbell! He always dresses up for holidays-Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I think it's awesome that he loves being out there.

Don't forget about safety: bikes on the right (pass on the left and always let the person know), pedestrians on the left.

I'm glad to be back on the trail. See you out there!
