Went on the American River Bike Trail today.  Parked at Nimbus Dam, rode across the Am River on the Hazel Ave bridge to the north-side trail up through Negro Bar, Folsom, and up to Beale's Point...and back.  Segment between Folsom and Beale's point is up-hill, some 7 % incline.  Burn those Quads! Nice down-hill on the way back...Great 18 miler.
