We have alot of history here in Sacramento -- so much that it might seem daunting to narrow it to a manageble list. Here is an attempt to do just that: seven "must see" places you can pedal to in about the time it takes to sit and watch a movie.  1.

Are there any thoughts of putting a map together of this route with particular landmarks highlighted and posting it somewhere to cyclists can easily follow the described routes?

If you have a group of 4 or more who wanted to tour, would you be riding around in multiple velocabs? Colleen Belcher 2009-08-08T18:36:18Z
