Yep, I’ve seen Quicksilver a few times, cool movie. 👍 Here in Sacramento, where I’m at now, there are some pretty good grades, but very few hills, other than right by the rivers. But there’s a really nice bike trail, that goes along the American River, from downtown Sacramento, out to Folsom. I went out to Folsom this morning, but never got a pic of anything saying Folsom. Which would have been kinda cool, considering Johnny Cash’s references to it. 😎
