Chip, Fernando and Ruben are going too. So we meet you guys at the corner of Hwy89 and Fwy80. Who are going to call me before you guys leave from Starbucks?  8) 8)

Rode this route today and her's what we can expect. 80 and 89 are good. 49 over Yuba is still dirty in some areas but not in the tire lanes. 49 from Bassets to Downieville and beyond was  awesome  ;D. Almost no traffic today and the temps were perfect. Should be a good day again tomorrow. See everyone in the morning.

20 to truckee, 25 to Sierraville. 30 minutes to Downieville.  The first stop in Sierraville is about 20 minute break.
After 49 split there are two descending radius lefthander (uphill) the second one is called "dead man's curve"  If you look through the turn you won't target fixate on the wall.
Do not get caught up in the excitement of the first group ride.  It is a long season and there is no reason to take yourselves out now!
Go slow, have fun.  This way you can do it again.

I was very impressed with the level of safety shown today.  That's hard to find in these large groups.

Here's a sample picture taken from today.  There are eight other general pictures too.  And one of the Attack Chicken.  Click on the picture to see the gallery.  Enjoy.

It's about taking in the most corners to your destination, not about the shortest, quickest route.
