My first longer loop ride of the season - about 280 miles

Would have happened about a month ago, but I hurt my back and the recovery took a few weeks. Rode for breakfast in South Lake Tahoe, then north to Sierraville, then back across the Sierras through Sierra City, Downieville, Nevada City, and Colfax. Stopped at Sierra Rizing in Coloma for an espresso and a cookie before heading home.

Heard when I arrived home that my local route into the Sierras going south, the Mormon Emigrant Trail, opened today. So I am looking forward to going on loop day rides to CA-4 and CA-108 in the coming weeks.
