We began our ride to Murphy’s by heading to Folsom Dam then to Green Valley Rd. then on to El Dorado Hills Blvd.  This is where two other members joined us.

By the time we got to Murphy’s the temp had exceeded expectations and climbed to around 95 degrees. No matter, everyone was having a good ride and it was fun to just be on the road.

We had lunch at Grounds Café in Murphy’s, the food was fresh and flavorful with moderate prices and great service.  The central topic of conversation was the upcoming Ride-in to Redding.  We all lingered in town for around 45 minutes after lunch, some wanting to take a look in some of the shops and others wanting to cool off with an Ice Cream Cone.

The route home is always a combination of some wanting to take a different route and others wanting to stay with the pack. 

All in all it was a good day for a ride with the added bonus of enjoying the company of other women who like to ride.
