Notes on Sattley

Here are some of my notes on Sattley;

• It takes around 2.5hrs to get to Auburn from the Bay Area
• The Bootlegger is a decent restaurant in downtown Auburn
• Don't stay at the Motel 6. The Comfort Inn looks like a better hotel
• It takes 1.45hrs to get to Sattley from Auburn
• There's a Starbucks in Truckee to get your morning brew (Donner Pass Rd & 89 S)
• Sattley is cold in the morning. Be sure to have enough clothes for your warm-up
• There's a slight incline at 8km and another around 13km
• Make sure you re-torque all your bolts because the expansion seams can jar your bars
• The expansion seams are worse on the way back
• There's a good Mexican food restaurant in Truckee for the return trip. It's called El Toro Bravo. It's at 10186 Donner Pass Rd. just after the Grey Hound station (heading away from Sattley)
• The drive home is long
