Folsom Long Course Triathlon : Official Thread

Anyone else doing this race?  They did end up completely changing the bike route compared to last year.  I'm going to ride the route in a couple weekends when I'm up in the area.

I rode the bike route early this Sunday morning.  Nice route, other than the lack of shoulder over a few stretches as noted.  The few climbs are not that bad; the one that is listed as a cat 5 does not feel like a cat 5.  There's one relatively steep slope but it doesn't last long enough to be categorized.  And nearly all the climbing comes during the first half, which is great.  Definitely a couple stretches where the road is not very smooth, but probably about 80% of the time it's very good surface.  I didn't get to ride the canal path because it was closed off, so I took Sunrise to Folsom to Hazel instead.  Not nearly as much wind as I was expecting, but who knows what conditions on race day will be.  Anyways, a solid route that if there was shoulder the whole time would be a very good training route.
