You must use polyurethane wheels if the smoothness of the road bugs you :-)
There's a woman on "kickbiking" who goes in Old Town Sacramento and just rides in the city on the streets with her Trikke 8 version 1 - her name is Marg. I went with her a few weeks ago, it's a neat spot.
I know that at American River College they just repaved nearly all of the parking lots and if you go early on a Sunday, you can Trikke there. It feels really smooth...
The path near Negro Bar is nice too, but I'm not sure if it's super smooth. I have a T8 v 1, but I use my T8.5 with air tires which doesn't rattle so much (now that I finally have one).
There are about 6 other riders in Sacramento. They all are on the kickbiking listserv. I'm trying to get them on this listserv as well but they're being a bit obstinate ;-)

Hi Rae,
I tried the trail that starts in Old Sacramento. It's a little rough
(surface wise), but seems like it would be a pretty good trail. But
unfortunately I tried it for the first time a couple of weekends ago
on a 100 degree day, so I guess I should try it again.
Is that the trail you wrote about below?
Oh, and I Trikke, which is why I'm looking for newer pathed trails.
Thanks,
Alicia
