Folsom Bike South Canal Time Trial - 2010 Sacramento, CA

Fast, Friendly, Free and Fun sponsored by Folsom Bike

Time trial is a race of truth and an opportunity for cyclists to compare their fitness with fellow cyclists with very low probability of crashing. Sacramento, California is blessed with a stretch of road next to a river canal that is free of traffic which is an ideal place for a time trial. Cyclists can try out their aero toys and have fun in a friendly competition. In 2010, the nice folks from Folsom Bike shop will run this event every Tuesday night starting March 16 to September 7. There are no fees, no registration, no waivers, no lawyers and no prizes. This is just a simple race of truth for 10 miles among friendly cyclists for FUN. If you are in the area, go try out your time trial skills. It’s a blast.

Course is a 10 miles out and back on a totally traffic free road that parallels the river canal. There are 1 small riser within first mile and 2 overpasses within 2 miles of the start. The turn around is marked with an arrow painted on the road exactly 5 miles from the start on top of a very small riser. If you run into a major street, then you’ve gone too far.

Note: Construction
There is construction going on at the entrance of the canal from White Rock Rd. The short detour is on Kilgore Rd which is one street light west of the normal entrance. Follow the detour sign into the neighborhood and you will come to the canal by the large water tower.
