FRIDAY June 13 - Liberty to Ex Spring & SATURDAY June 14th - Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen

OK - Rain, Rain stay away!

FRIDAY RIDE

  On Friday, June 13th I plan to leave the Mabee Center (William Jewell campus) at 9:30 AM for a ride to lunch in Ex Springs.  This turns out to be 26 miles to lunch via 210 through Missouri City then north on N (with a detour that adds 2.3 miles included in the 26) into Excelsior by the Elms Hotel to the Wabash BBQ.

The return is 13 miles back to Liberty along Hwy H.  Here is a Map My Ride map of the route.

Liberty to Ex Springs

SATURDAY RIDE

  Saturday I will lead the monthly (approximately) ride from Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen (Menu).  This leaves Knuckleheads at 9:00 AM for brunch at Kate's Kitchen at 80th and North Oak.  This time we will ride the Line Creek Trail from Vivion Road in Riverside to it's northern most point at Barry Road.  This will eliminate the largest hills of past rides though the out-bound distance is now 20 miles.  The return remains 13 miles and will include an optional stop at the Cinder Block (micro brewery - 2nd stop on Tour de Bier) in NKC.  A live blues jam awaits us on our return to Knuckleheads.

JUNE 12th: Embassy Suites to Liberty 8:30 AM Start & JUNE 14th: Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen 9:00 AM start

LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY, JUNE 12TH IS RAINED OUT
DON'T FORGET THE KNUCKLEHEADS RIDE SATURDAY

KNUCKLEHEADS RIDE - SATURDAY, JUNE 14TH

As of Tuesday at 2:20 the rain chances on weather.com for Saturday are forecast at 10% though I have seen higher percentages forecast on local TV.  I plan to lead the ride to Kate's Kitchen from Knuckleheads leaving at 9:00 AM.  I hope to use the newly opened trail segment from 68th street to Barry Road eliminating the hills on Coventry.  If there has been recent rain before this ride the new section trail is likely to be muddy in which case we may ride the old route.  We return (via the Cinder Block) to Knuckleheads at around 1:30 to listen to some blues (no cover).
