- Solano Baking Company, Dixon
The Fast-Pace ride heads north then west out of Davis along County Road 29 before turning south past the Yolo County Airport. The ride continues south along Road 95 to Sievers, then dog-legs over to Schroeder Road and continues south into Dixon. The route crosses Interstate 80 and heads east into Dixon and to the Solano Baking Company for a snack. We meet the early start riders here.
After the break, the route works its way east and north to Tremont Road, east to Mace Boulevard. It then winds through Davis to return to Starbucks (although riders will leave the group to return to their respective homes). On the way back to Davis, riders have the option of turning up Old Davis Road for a short cut back into town.
The pace can get especially quick along Road 95 and Schroeder, especially if there's a good northwesterly blowing. That same northwest can make the northbound legs up Bulkley and Mace challenging. Ride regroups as necessary to make sure no one is left behind.
