Jacob wanted to go bike riding today for his birthday. He wanted to go on a mountain bike ride. So we went to the very low Folsom lake, as there are some trails there. Well, they were certainly mountain bike trails! We were going up and over rock cliffs, through trees, narrow switch back trails. Shelley and Hannah didn’t like it very much. Dad and Jacob rode on while the girls rested.
Eventually, we decided to go try a more “relaxing” trail. We headed to a portion of the American River Bike Trail, a 32 mile paved trail that follows the American River. This trail is considered one of the best biking trails in the country, and we’ve never biked on any of it. We picked a small area that goes past Lake Natoma near Folsom Dam.
It was beautiful! This is an area of the river that is dammed up due to the fish hatchery dam, and it creates a narrow but long lake. This lake is used for rowing races and they were practicing when we were there.
After our short ride along this part of the trail, we decided that we MUST do more biking on this trail!
After biking, we went to Red Robin (YUMMMM!) for mile high mud pie (and fries of course)
