Sacramento Pipeworks Bike Club Camp Out
On a recent unseasonably warm weekend, the Sacramento Pipeworks bike club held their annual Bodega Dunes ride and camp-out. 16 people showed up armed with sleeping bags, a strong desire to ride and as usual with this club, a ton of food and drink. The easy ride was around 35 miles, including the gorgeous Coleman Valley Road, while the hard ride covered over 55 miles and ascended the imposing Marshall Grade Road (over 10% climb). Dinner was a hours long affair and saying that no one went to bed hungry would be an understatement! If an event like this appeals to you, or even if you'd prefer a ride closer to home, check our online message board under the "cycling" or "ride schedules" tab.
