THURSDAY, March 12 - Embassy Suites to Riverside (repeat of last week's cancelled plan) 9:00 AM (maybe)

   I'm considering using the planned ride from last week and starting at 9:00 AM.   There looks to be cool at the start and wind picks up during the day.  I have mapped 30 miles if we go the entire route. 10.8 miles there, 19.2 miles back.  This could be trimmed.  Check in the morning to see if I've changed my mind about riding.

Here's the route:

THURSDAY, March 6th - Embassy Suites to Riverside - 9:00 AM Start

ROADS ARE STILL WET AT 7:30.  I'M CHANGING TO BREAKFAST AT HY VEE AT 9:00

RIDE BELOW IS CANCELLED

  Thursday is looking like a day to ride starting at 9:00 from adjacent to Embassy Suites (Urgent Care lot).  I have us going to Riverside (Corner Cafe) again.  A little different and 30 miles if we go the entire route. 10.8 miles there, 19.2 miles back.

THURSDAY, February 26 - Embassy Suites to Camden Point (back to Scotts)

 Sorry this is so late but I discussed the possible late posting with some riders last week.  I've been out of town getting my my craving for hearts sated with collecting selfies of the squirrel statues in Marysville, KS.

This week we will ride to Camden Point and return to Scott's Hanger for brunch before returning to the start - adjacent to Embassy Suites.  A total distance of about 30 miles.

Since I am so slow you can drop me on the way up and pick me up on the way back.  My pace may be reasonable since there are no drastic downhills where I am still a bit unsure.

Weather looks good.  No router or Garmin map this week since the route is so simple.

THURSDAY, February 19th - Northland Bike Ride to Riverside - 9:00 AM Start

I'm Planning on leaving from the usual spot at 9:00AM and heading to the Corner Cafe in Riverside. 

 We had a roof leak the night of the rain last week and we have a roofer coming today so I won't be able to ride the entire route.  I plan on riding from home to the start - skipping breakfast and riding home via the Route #1.  I offer that 20 mile route and the longer Route #2 of 30 miles if you prefer that distance. 

See you there

THURSDAY, February 12th - Embassy Suites to Kate's Kitchen - 9:00 Start

 Well we might get this ride in.  I've been riding but I'm still pretty slow and careful.  I've mapped this 26 miler to Kate's Kitchen starting at 9:00 AM (39 degrees but warming to the 50s; single digit South winds and partial sum).

THURSDAY, February 5th - Cold in the Morning so Breakfast (AGAIN) at 8:30 - Hy Vee (Barry Rd and St Clair)

 The weather is getting closer to being rideable but maybe not in the morning with that wind.

SO - we will meet for breakfast again.  I will be able to make breakfast but wouldn't have been able to ride due to appointments made when I was certain that the weather would be restrictive.  I guess it worked out but I am getting eager to be back riding.

THURSDAY, January 29th - Breakfast once again + ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW - Breakfast at Hy Vee at 8:30

Breakfast again for any takers - 8:30 at the Hy Vee at Barry Rd and St Clair.

FYI - MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2 - 6PM

You may be interested in attending this meeting concerning planning the extension of Line Creek Parkway from Barry Road to 68th Street (and developments in this area) and how it may affect the Line Creek Trail.

THURSDAY, January 22 - Cold in the Morning so Breakfast (AGAIN) at 8:30 - Hy Vee

   The weather hates Thursday rides.  That's all I can figure.  It's still too cold for me so let's meet again at 8:30  (Hy Vee at Barry & St Clair).

THURSDAY, January 15 - Cold in the Morning so Breakfast at 8:30 - Hy Vee

 The January weather and Thursdays don't seem to get along.  Let's do breakfast at 8:30 again (at Hy Vee - Barry Rd and St Clair).  One topic of discussion could be the possibility and interest in Wheeler Airport laps in the afternoon.  I'm not sure conditions will make that very tempting but I'm willing to listen if there is interest.

THURSDAY, January 8 (Elvis' Birthday) - Rain Likely so Breakfast at 8:30 - Hy Vee

 The plan is to meet tomorrow for breakfast at the Barry Rd and St Clair Hy Vee for a breakfast gathering in lieu of a ride. [I was able to get a 24 mile ride in today (Wed.).  I'm still slow but if felt good].  

If the forecast were to change dramatically we could alter plans.
