Salmon Falls Road

I took a spin up one of my favorite trails in the 916 - Salmon Falls Road over the weekend. Plusses - Minimal traffic in the winter time, no speed patrols observed. Minuses - Wet roads, and the recent storm left mud and wet leaf patches on the road, mainly in the most inopportune places. Home boy's rear tire was sliding around too much on the mud patches for comfort. I could open it up a little bit on the stretch from the lake parking area to Green Valley Road, which was drier. Just had to rant.

good to hear the pluses - im hoping for it to dry up by saturday - some friends of mine invited me to ride along.. wucha'll up to this weekend?

Salmon Falls is great, but Wentworth Springs to Ice house Road is awesome. Was at Salmon Falls on Sunday, same pavement condition:headshake .

yea, the one time i got to go out to wentworth, the rain season was just beginning - the riders i was with advised against riding it out since the wet spots were also the hardest turns that day...

i don't recommend it, some parts of the road could still be icy and it's hard to tell if it's not.

i road salmon yesterday was 73 degree in el dorado hills no water what so ever nooo cops and roads were clear except gravel at the end of the the run i broke in my new michelen race power tires 180/55/17 handeled like a dream a 30.5 psi was illl plus meet this asian guy on a zx7r and he was chasing me with his wireless helmet cam looked raw with a wide angle lense still waiting on footage

i've wrecked there twice now. Bike still isn't back together yet after the 2nd one :(

I just rode there today (Sat 2-9-08) and it was awsome. 65 degrees and sunny! Theres going to be a group of us riding again there tomorrow. Were going to meet at the Chevron/McDonalds at Sierra College Blvd. and 80.at ----11:30am.
