THURSDAY, March 2 - Embassy Suites to Smithville - 9:00 AM Start AND SATURDAY, March 4 - Knuckleheads to Kates Kitchen

THURSDAY, MARCH 2ND RIDE

The Feb. 23rd ride was cancelled due to threatening skys, strong winds, a temperature drop and lack of interest  For March 2nd I will try this ride to Smithville again.  We will do breakfast at Cook's Corner.  The trip is 18.2 miles out and 12.3 miles returning.  There are several hills with the most challenging one just after breakfast,  Hope to see you there.



SATURDAY, MARCH 4TH RIDE

On SATURDAY, March 4th I will resume the (appoximately) monthly rides to Kate's Kitchen from Knuckleheads.  The idea here is to ride to brunch from Knuckleheads leaving at 9:00AM for Kate's Kitchen at 80th and North Oak. Kate's has been great about seating our group promptly upon arrival, serving us quickly and presenting us with a selection of great items from their menu.
  The trip there is about 20 miles with some new modifications to the route made possible by the completion of additional trails; no need to cut through the grass anymore.  There are now about 8 miles of very nice trail we will use.



After brunch we will head for the Velo Garage and Tap House having its GRAND OPENING that day.  Located at 14th and Swift the Velo Garage promises to be a regular stop for me and my like-minded riding friends.  This is about 9 miles from Kate's, mostly down hill.

The final approximately 3 flat miles return you to Knuckleheads where their regular Saturday blues jam (no cover) will be going on.  

I hope you can make this ride as well. 

Happy Riding in the New Year!
