EVENT LOCATION AND ROUTES:
Very simple this year. Everything starts and finishes at the Discovery Park picnic area. All routes are on the American River Bike Trail.
DIRECTIONS TO DISCOVERY PARK- THE REDBUD PICNIC AREA: : Discovery Park is located immediately off of the Interstate 5 close to downtown Sacramento. I'll give you directions from Richards Blvd. Taking I-5 North from the downtown, exit almost immediately at Richards Blvd. Turn left at Richards Blvd and almost immediately you'll see a La Quinta motel in front of you. Take a right on the unmarked road immediately in front of the La Quinta motel and that road will take you to the Discovery Park entrance. Pay your $5 at the booth and proceed straight across the bridge. Once across the bridge, hang a right in the parking lot and drive as far East as you can until you find parking immediately under the I-5. The Red Bud picnic area is directly in front of you.
We start AND end all events at Discovery Park at the Redbud picnic area.

$5 PARKING AT DISCOVERY PARK:
Parking costs $5. The guard doesn't arrive at the kiosk until 9ish, so bring $5 cash to put in their SELF PAY envelope, keeping the stub for your windsheild. Don't bring a $10 or a $20 because there isn't change (no change for $20 even after the guard arrives). There IS NO CREDIT CARD machine at this park.
