THURSDAY and SATURDAY (Feb 27 & 29) Northland Bike Rides to The Ship and Kate's Kitchen - 10:00 AM & 9:00 AM Start

THURSDAY, Feb 27 - Embassy Suites to West Bottoms
10:00 AM


This Thursday I plan to ride to The West Bottoms, lunch at The Ship - a cool new place for us.  The route is 19 miles there and a little under 21 miles back - 40 total.  It would be easy ride additional miles at the end.  







SATURDAY, Feb 29 - Knuckleheads to Kate's
9:00 AM

Saturday, February 29th (Leap Day) 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.
