A group of us took our bikes on the Amtrak Capitol Corridor up to Sacramento to drop by NAHBS (the North American Handmade Bicycle Show) and then ride the paved, car-free Jedidiah Smith trail from Sacramento toward Folsom. We had a ringer– a friend who lived in Sacramento and knew all the scenic roads, an amazing market to get a sandwich at to eat by the river (Corti Brothers), and good brewpubs. Thanks Jenn!
42 beautiful miles (route):
On the train, through the current or former farmlands of the Sacramento River Delta.
Bikes on this two-hour train were easy, unlike Amtraks that require you to box your bike…
Mile after mile of smooth riding along the river, like this:
And a quick stop before catching the evening train home…
