SUNDAY (CANCELLED), October 14th- Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen AND Thurs, Oct. 11th - Embassy Suites to Dearborn - 8:30 AM Start

SUNDAY October 20th
NOW RESCHEDULED FOR OCT 20TH

On SATURDAY, October 20th, I will lead another of  the (appoximately) monthly rides to Kate's Kitchen from Knuckleheads.  The idea here is to ride to brunch from Knuckleheads leaving at 8:30AM 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 route is about 12.5 miles to Kate's while the return to Knuckleheads is approximately 20 miles of mostly downhill and flat, a good half of which is on a beautiful trail.
  I am also considering an alteration to the traditional route: At about the 25.5 mile mark we may ride on 169 south to and possibly across the Buck O'Neil (Broadway) Bridge (Probably not across this bridge).  This could mean a refueling stop at Strange Days Brewery in the River Market area before working our way back to Knuckleheads.

It does look like the temperatures are dipping considerably.  I plan to ride as long as it's dry.  I'll update with a forecast probably Friday.

THURSDAY October 11th

Notice the start time is moved to 8:30 AM

I was thinking of a different destination but a MO-DOT map shows flooding on my planned route (to Edgerton) so I have chosen Dearborn as the destination along this route.  Distances are 21.4 miles there and 19.6 miles back for 41 miles total:

It does look like a cool start though the forecast does call for sunshine.  I plan on keeping the 8:30 start time for a while probably changing to 9:00 AM in November or December.
