Another great upcoming family event is the Rock & Roll Geology Tour and Fun Ride on November 8th, benefiting the American River Conservancy. It’s a slow-paced mountain bike ride at Cronan Ranch, out to the River and back. Tom Judy, geologist – nationally recognized mountain bike competitor – outdoor instructor, is the same guide who has offered other local events to reinforce safety, improve skills, and better communicate between trail users. Tom and his wife Jill are wonderful ambassadors for our trails. Tom will be stopping along the way to explain geologic features unique to the Gold Country.
