Cross-Country Route 40 Bike Trip - Day 2: Davis to Rainbow Lodge, California
| Distance: |
91.1 miles |
| Description: |
The journey begins in the Central Valley before making its climb up the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In short, it is a 100+ mile uphill ride all day. You will need to travel on portions of I-80 in three places: across the Yolo Causeway west of Sacramento (about 2.5 miles), just southwest of Auburn (about .2 miles; it may be legal to bike across this section) and again east of Yuba Pass (about 3 miles). This section mainly follows one or more of the Route 40 alignments and roughly parallels the path of the Transcontinental Railroad. Northeast of Colfax, this route makes use of some PG&E service roads to avoid traveling on the Interstate Highway. This section ends at Rainbow Lodge in Tahoe National Forest. |
