This ride is a full round trip adventure on mostly 2 lane roads with some freeway. The road surfaces are very good, posted speed limits will be observed, breaks and gas are planned at the 65 mile point, the park is at the 81 mile point and an additional break, gas, regroup or disband at the 160 mile point if needed before reentering Sacramento proper.

There will be an optional more advanced rider section available out of Angels Camp via Hwy 4 on Parrots Ferry Rd. to Columbia State Park. The novice group will proceed out of Angels Camp on Hwy 49 S and reunite with the group at the Columbia State Park parking lot.

Columbia State Historic Park has something for everyone. It is a living gold rush town with lots of sights to see, lunch will be on your own at any one of 4 restaurants along the wooden plank sidewalks, picnic tables are available for those of you that want to bring lunch along. Plans are for all riders that have “stated” to the ride coordinator that they want to return with the group, to meet back at the bikes approximately 1.5 hrs. after arrival to start the return trip.
