THURSDAY (July 11th)
SATURDAY (July 13th)
This week I plan to ride to Roxanne's in Platte City via this route. There will be a cool and significant NNW wind going up to Camden Point but from there back should be a "breeze."
The distances map to be 24.6 miles there and about 10.8 miles back for 35.4 miles total.
The weather looks pretty good for the Thursday ride:
SATURDAY, July 13th, 2019: Knuckleheads to Kate's Kitchen: 8:30 AM start
Saturday, July 13th I will lead another ride 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 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.
