Auburn Iowa Hill Foresthill Loop

63 mile loop starting in Auburn. Warm up those legs parallel to 80 up to Colfax, then the steep drop down into the canyon of the North Fork of the American River. The centerpiece of the ride is the climb out of the canyon up Iowa Hill, which is not for the feint of heart. Steady but moderate climbing from the top of Iowa all the way to Sugar Pine Reservoir, then more climbing to the east to join Foresthill road about 10 miles above the town of Foresthill. All that hard work is rewarded with a fun downhill blitz pretty much all the way to Auburn, with some rollers. Final, obnoxious, hill at the end after crossing the Foresthill bridge - great ride.
