I think we will do this ride in spite of the wind Here are the deets:
This route is about 18.5 miles out and only 3 back for 21.5 total. If you want more It would be easy to add on at the end.
AND
Ride from Prairie Village to the Parade of Hearts Kick-Off for the 2026 Parade
On Saturday, April 4th the Parade of Hearts for 2026 will be displaying all 150 Hearts at the Overland Park Convention Center.
I am planning to lead a ride from the Prairie Village shops to this event leaving at 9:00 am. My route there is only 7 miles and the event begins at 10:00 am - this will give us plenty of time but I want to be early and will probably want to stay there for a couple hours at least.
I have mapped a return trip that you will probably recognize if you ride to Best Regards. The return route is about 10.5 miles and passes by the Mission Farms Martin City Pizza and Taproom for a possible lunch stop. I expect the return group to fragment - leaving at different times. I will eventually head back and will gladly show the way for anyone who stays as long as I do.
I am showing my intended route below with links to a Map-My-Ride mapping and a Garmin route where details will be a little more clear.
