From the Ride Manager:
We would like to welcome you to the 48th annual American River Classic Endurance Ride, the oldest A.E.R.C. sanctioned 50 mile endurance ride in the world. We elected to move the ride start to Cool, CA. Cool was always the last vet check for the 50's which meant the 25 milers never had the opportunity to ride to Cool on ride day. The trail will consist of loops on the Olmstead Trail, along with Salt Creek Loop. I feel confident that there will be a lot of natural water out there this year. Both distances will make their way over to Auburn via Western States Trail and ride parts of Coffer Dam. This ride does provide plenty of hills and scenic views by and above the American River. This year riders will be provided a meal ticket for a Friday dinner meal hosted by American River Pizza and Grill that will be located next to Cool Staging Area. Also this restaurant along with a few others will be available for anyone and everyone Saturday.
