Two night bike tour advice - North Natomas to Lincoln to Folsom to North Natomas
My 11-year-old son and I are going on a two-night bike tour from May 29-31. We are leaving after his last day of school around 1 PM on the 29th. Last summer, we did a one night bike tour from North Natomas to Folsom and back. He did well but he was tired. Last year he rode his mountain bike, but this year he is going to borrow my wife's Trek touring bike so I am hoping the riding will be easier for him.
I was hoping for some feedback about our planned route. We plan to go:
Day 1 from North Natomas to Lincoln
Day 2 from Lincoln to Folsom
Day 3 from Folsom to North Natomas
I'll look more closely to make sure we're choosing the most bike friendly route for each portion. I am very familiar in the best route from Discovery Park to North Natomas. I'm not familiar at all at the routes to and from Lincoln. Any streets to avoid or must-do routes? I'm looking to avoid fast roads with little to no shoulder, but I know there will be at least short stretches of these kinds of roads mixed in.
Any hotel/AirBNB/restaurant suggestions for Lincoln? Anything else we should know?
