There are lots of 'backroads' routes through the Saratoga area. Here's one that may well use roads you've never taken. This is a scenic tour staying off the roads more often travelled. There is climbing, but nothing severe. There is a bit of dirt, but ridable on skinny road wheels. And there is lots of gorgeous scenery.

I will post a cancellation on the Rides Bulletin if it rains. Ride at your own pace. Jennifer will lead the faster cyclists, and Melanie will lead the slower cyclists.
