THURSDAY, August 22 - Embassy Suites to Smithville - 8:00 AM Start

This week we head back to Family Traditions in Smithville.  The route is 22.7 miles there but only 12.7 miles back for a total of 35.4 miles.  CAUTION on the Virginia downhill on the way there - about mile 14.  I drove this Monday and it's better than the last time I saw it but still a little rough and gravelly especially at the bottom.  On the return trip I have you taking Martin Rd (144th St) from 169 all the way past Skyview to Walker Rd.  There are a series of significant climbs on this stretch (mile 25-28) so be forewarned.

  As of Tuesday 1:30 PM there is a chance of rain but with mild temps and winds out of the NE.  I plan to join you for breakfast.  Thanks again to Bob Papreck for leading the ride in my biking absence.



See you there.
