PLEASE NOTE START TIMES
THURSDAY 9:00 AM START

  This week I am leading the ride to Liberty for breakfast at the Corner Cafe.  This ride is 16 miles out and approximately 15 miles returning for around 31 miles total.  The route link is here and the map below:

The forecast temperatures seem nice enough BUT as of Monday morning there is a 90% chance of rain.  As Thursday approaches I'll check again and see if there is a chance we could ride.  If necessary I will change the route to a figure 8 which will keep us closer to the start location in case we need a rapid retreat back to Embassy Suites.

If the forecast holds (as of Monday, 5-8-17) this should be a perfect day for a ride.
