THURSDAY & SATURDAY (10 / 24 & 26) Northland Bike Rides - to Riverside and Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen - 9AM Starts

THURSDAY, Oct 24 - Embassy Suites to Riverside
9:00 AM

This Thursday I plan to ride to Riverside, breakfast at the Corner Cafe.  The route is 19 miles there and a little under 10 miles back - 28.75 total.  It would be easy ride additional miles at the end.  My doctor thinks I need to behave by not overdoing it with longer rides so I plan to stay around 30 miles for a while.

Not crazy about this forecast!

SATURDAY, Oct 26 - Knuckleheads to Kate's
9:00 AM

Saturday, October 26th I will lead another ride to Kate's Kitchen from Knuckleheads.  The idea here is to ride to brunch from Knuckleheads leaving at 9:00AM 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 21 miles of mostly downhill and flat, a good half of which is on a beautiful trail.  I have modified the return to cross the Fairfax and Lewis & Clark bridges instead of the Heart of America.  It's about the same mileage with probably better car traffic flow - let me know what you think.

  There could be a refueling stop at a micro-bewery in the River Market (Strange Days) or West Bottoms (Stockyards) before working our way back to Knuckleheads and their no-cover blues jam.

It’s cool but not too bad. In January we will be hoping for weather like this.
