Yesterday we rode from echo summit just on the brink of the Tahoe basin to Folsom. It was a cold start so we stopped at the strawberry lodge for delicious treats and good company while we waited for the weather to warm and the traffic to pick up. I was worried about the descent down highway 50. I should not have been, it was awesome! There were some sketchy parts and one pretty scary no shoulder climb. Overall not worth all my worries.
We rolled into Folsom tired and hungry with 75 miles, 2800 feet of climbing, and almost 10,000 feet of descending(!) under our belts. Clays says it was the best road bike descent of his life, which I'm not sure is saying much.
I'll try to get the picture thing settled soon
