THURSDAY, August 23rd - Embassy Suites SHOW & GO - 8:00 AM Start

I had my second cataract surgery (right eye this time) Tuesday so I will be unable to lead again this week.  Bob will take over for the Show & Go - route to be determined.  Do expect hills again.  Bob loves them thar hills.

Last time I was able to lead the week following surgery.  I expect that to be the case again this time.  I may see you at the start this week but I definitely hope to see you an the road on the 30th.

The forecast has improved.  It looks like this will be a go but the start will be a little cool!

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.
