TOSRD Details

Starting Saturday at about 9:00 a.m. you meander on levee roads from Brannan Island through Isleton, ride the Howard Landing ferry for a short river crossing, and continue at treetop level along Steamboat Slough and on to Delta High School for lunch. After lunch your path takes you along the picturesque Sacramento River and into the Old Sacramento Historical District near the state capitol, and then on to the motel. After you are settled, you can return via the motel shuttle to wander through the many shops, enjoying the olde town atmosphere. Don’t forget to visit the renowned California Railroad Museum, too!

Later, back at the motel, stretch out those muscles in the swimming pool! Then wander back to Olde Town and purchase dinner from any of the local restaurants.

Return to the main TOSRD page.

The next day, the sun rises early on riders eager for the return trip. After a breakfast provided by the motel, you head out of town and tour the river path. Along the levee route you go through the historic Chinese community of Locke, pedal on to Walnut Grove and Isleton, and finally to Brannan Island for a barbecue feast. At Brannan Island, you will find your gear waiting for you.

Brannan Island charges a two-day fee for entering the park and leaving your car overnight (It’s been $10.00 in the past).
