This is a nice ride with mild to medium climbing from Roseville Cyclery to the Flower Farm Cafe -- a favorite stop amongst Foothills cyclists:

Get any last-minute tubes, lube, or adjustments done to your bike at the Roseville Cyclery.

Starting in downtown Roseville, California, the first few miles will be flat and easy along the Miner's Ravine Trail. Share the path with pedestrians and other cyclists.

The peak climb of the entire route is at mile 17.2, going up King Road where you start descending. Watch for traffic at the right turn onto Auburn Folsom Road.

After turning off of King Road, the rest of the route is a long descent with some very small hills. You'll finish the latter part of the route in no time.

The last 4.8 miles will put you back onto the Miner's Ravine Trail for a nice and easy finish.

Be sure to check out the restaurant scene for that post-ride recovery meal.
