Let‘s go to Black Miner’s Bar where the wind will be a light 5 mph from our south side. Weather forecast: 9 a.m. temp 71, rising to 83 by noon.
Black Miners Bar (formerly Negro Bar) is on Lake Natoma. The entrance is from Greenback Lane just west of the highway bridge on Folsom Blvd. Please allow time for parking in the lot above the launch ramp after unloading your boat. It’s a State Park, so use your pass or have $10 handy at the kiosk when you drive in.
For first-timers: drive across the bike path, angling to the right-hand side of the large parking lot where you’ll see the road down to the launch ramp. Don’t take the vehicle road that runs parallel to the bike path.
For those interested, Coffee Republic is a nice place for lunch with outdoor, dog-friendly seating, very close by at 6601 Folsom-Auburn Road, Folsom.
4th of July ride Sunrise footbridge to Karen’s, up north side, over the crossing to Karen’s, back south side. Please register.
Cosumnes River Preserve is scheduled for this coming week, as the temperature will be mild and it’s one of the more sheltered destinations.” The wind could be 7-8 mph, with temps from 70-83. Please do your best to arrive in time to get your bottom wet at 10 a.m.
Address: 13501 Franklin Blvd., Galt. The Visitor Center phone number is 916-684-2816, but it’s staffed by volunteers and is rarely answered.
According to www.Cosumnes.org/visitorscenter, THERE ARE ROAD CLOSURES SO PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR DIRECTIONS!
It is a long carry from the parking lot to the dock. Be sure to bring your kayak carts, and if you have an extra to share it would be appreciated. In the past, a few LOANER CARTS were available from the Visitors Center. TAKE YOUR BIKE LOCK OR OTHER DEVICE to lock the cart to a tree while you’re in the water.
Bring lunch to eat on the shady deck at the Visitor’s Center after our paddle. The restrooms are open.
Please register so you won’t be left at the dock.
On Friday, July 11, meet at Karen‘s Bakery in Folsom at 8:15 for 8:30 start. We‘ll ride upstream, peddling over Folsom Lake Crossing to the Johnny Cash Trail. After passing Folsom prison, we‘ll navigate to the Oak Parkway Trail. If part of that trail is still closed for construction, we will detour through a very nice Folsom neighborhood to reach our rest stop at Chocolate Fish or Posh Bagel on Blue Ravine and Natomas. After refueling, we will jump on the Willow Creek and Humbug trails back to the American River Parkway and return to Karen’s.
Free covered parking at 905 Leidesdorff St. and 604 Sutter St.; also free at open lots in the area.
The ride will be led by my guest, Kevin Kinsch (408) 497-6258
