“I’ve always wanted to try this, and this was a great opportunity. It’s close to Sacramento and it’s a short 10 mile ride (5 out and back). There is a guide in the front and back of the rail bikes, who make sure everyone crosses the roads safely, and will help if you run into any issues. The rail bikes also have an electric assist they can set to different levels, so everyone can ride comfortable. The ride passes through mainly farmland and river country. It was pretty but not spectacular. It was a great way to try and rail and decide if I want to try a longer trip…”
