WEDNESDAY, August 22nd - Biscari Bros to Excelsior Springs - 9:00 AM Start & maybe THURSDAY too

I’M CANCELLING THE THURSDAY RIDE
It looks like it may be dry at 8 but rain will arrive before we could get a full ride in. We will try again next week.

The Thursday forecast is looking kind of soggy.  I am recovered enough from the first round of cataract surgery to ride Wednesday and the conditions are great for this lunch ride so:

WEDNESDAY August 22nd
LIBERTY to EX SPRINGS
  • We ride from Biscari Brothers' Bicycles, 852 State Route 291, Liberty, MO 64068
  • We start at 9:00 AM.
  • We ride to Excelsior Springs.
  • We "do" lunch at the Wabash BBQ (menu) there.


  The route is approximately 40 miles total, 23 and a fraction out.  The outbound route goes through Missouri City on 210 and Old 210 before turning north on N into Ex. Springs.  The return is on H all the way back to Liberty.

As of 1 pm Tuesday 7-17-18
Check email and this blog Wednesday morning to see if ride is cancelled or modified.

DIRECTIONS TO WEDNESDAY START
From I-35 to Biscari Brothers (all turns at traffic lights):
  • Exit I-35 on 152 / Kansas Ave and head East about 0.7 miles
  • Turn right on 291 heading South about 0.6 miles.
