THURSDAY, April 23, Embassy Suites to First Watch on Ambassador - 8:30 Start

This is a short ride of around 19 miles partially due to increased winds but it does pass by three of the Parade of Hearts hearts for photo ops.


I've been to 34 hears so far of the 150 this year.

Here is the map of the route starting and ending at the Urgent Care parking lot adjacent to the Embassy Suites lot where we used to park.







I'm a little concerned about the wind and the precipitation chances.
