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.
