Day 5, 26 May: HOMEWARD BOUND (but the hammer will fall)

Grass Valley to Sacramento

92.3 miles with 1950 ft of climbing

After the tough hills of the past three days, the final stage is set to be a fast and furious descent back to Sacramento. With a net drop of 2300 ft and only a few bumps to keep things honest the battle for the climber’s jersey will be behind us. This day is one for the sprinters and descenders. We should roll back into our original downtown hotel with the residual lactic acid spun free from our legs.
