A little free time

On Monday, I had some unscheduled time in the morning. Not enough time to go somewhere far away (South Lake Tahoe or Yosemite would have been perfect). But I'm not on vacation, after all...

It turns out there's a lot of great bicycling opportunities in the Sacramento area. There's a bike trail which runs along the American River from downtown Sacramento out up to Folsom (about 25 miles away). It's on park land virtually the whole way, and there's a bike rental shop about 15 minutes from my hotel. So that was an excellent opportunity. Got a little bit sunburnt on my two-hour ride, but I might have to do that again if I get another couple of hours on the ground during the daytime.
