Great area to ride (but read below). You should check out the ride library on CycleFolsom.com. They ride in this area nearly every weekend. I just wanted to point out that you have some sketchy roads for cycling on your route map & don't recommend portions of this route except for very experienced riders that are comfortable riding on very narrow roads with high volumes of fast vehicle traffic. Specifically, Bass Lake Rd between Serrano and Green Valley, and Green Valley east of Cameron Park. There are some neighborhood streets that can get you from Serrano to Green Valley (check out the ride library on CycleFolsom.com). The bike lane/shoulder on Green Valley ends a little ways east of Cameron Park and it's very sketchy. A better route is Starbuck Rd to Deer Valley and loop around to Rescue (there's a water fountain at the Fire Station at Rescue). Plenty of rollers to give you a work out and much safer.
