THURSDAY, June 9th - Embassy Suites to Dearborn 8:30 AM Start - - - AND - - - SATURDAY, June 11th- Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen - 9:00 AM Start

PLEASE NOTE START TIMES

THURSDAY 8:30 AM START
  This week I am leading the ride to Dearborn for breakfast at the Dearborn Cafe.  Road repairs are scheduled to begin June 13th so I thought we'd sneak one more ride up Interurban before work begins.

  Below is the route of the simplest route there.  We could modify this if we feel spunky and the weather holds.  One possible thought is to add a 15 mile loop to Faucett.


SATURDAY RIDE


PLEASE NOTE THE START TIME is 9:00


  The monthly Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen (80th and N. Oak) will be on June 11th.  I will follow the same route as usual.  We will cross the Chouteau bridge on the way to Kate's and the Heart of America bridge on the return.  See this map for details. 
  The start time will be 9:00 AM for a 20 mile ride to Kate's for brunch.  The return is about 13 miles back (with a probable stop at the Cinder Block) to Knuckleheads where their weekly blues jam (no cover) begins around 1:00 PM.
